By the editors · 2 min readPink pepper crackles first, a dry sparkle that lets lemon flash bright and brief without turning sugary. Ginger slides in immediately, its clean heat fusing the citrus top to the sandalwood-cedar base so the transition feels like one continuous wood-polish glow rather than distinct stages. The spices stay soft, never biting; instead they lift the creamy sandalwood, letting the cedar keep a tidy pencil-shaving edge that stops the base from lapsing into sweetness. On skin the opening fireworks are gone in twenty minutes, leaving a close, pale wood sheath with a faint peppery shimmer that reads as freshly planed boards in morning sun. Projection stays polite—arm-length at best—so it works for summer office days when you want crisp cleanliness without aquatic clichés. Longevity clocks about five hours, fading to a skin-clean musk that still smells laundered rather than absent.
