By the editors · 2 min readBergamot slices through the opening with a metallic citrus edge that quickly picks up lemon's sharper tartness, creating a bright but austere introduction. Lavender and rosemary step in within minutes, their herbal-aromatic facets softening the citrus while vetiver adds a dry grass rootiness that keeps the heart from turning creamy. Cardamom flashes briefly between the herbs, lending a cool spice that bridges into patchouli's earthy crunch, anchoring the composition without overt sweetness. The promised amber and vanilla base stay restrained, appearing as a muted warm haze rather than a plush dessert, so the scent finishes as a low-pitched aromatic woodiness with a faint vanillic glow. Projection hovers at arm's length for roughly six hours, making it office-friendly yet present through the workday.
