By the editors · 2 min readCedar and grapefruit create an aromatic citrus-woody opening with bright yet grounded character. Jasmine introduces a floral heart that softens the sharpness of the initial accord. Coffee provides a unique bitter note that adds complexity and contrasts with the florals. Labdanum creates a resinous, balsamic base that adds warmth and depth to the composition. Ambergris contributes a marine-animalic quality that enhances the dry-down's skin affinity. This unusual blend projects moderately and suits creative evening wear in cooler seasons.
