By the editors · 2 min readCardamom crackles green and cool, its citrus edge slicing through the opening moment before violet leaf’s damp-green bite darkens the sky. Leather arrives early, matte and pliable, wrapping iris’s cool violet-tinged starch in a soft hide that smells freshly tanned rather than smoky. The iris never turns buttery; instead it stays dry and papery, letting the leather dominate the heart while ambergris adds a salt-skin glow that quietly expands projection. Vanilla waits below, rounding the edges with a barely sweet cream that never clouds the mineral clarity above. Wear is close but persistent, a tailored skin-scent suited to collar-length diffusion under office air-conditioning. Cool spring through early fall days, business casual or travel, when you want polish without announcement.
