By the editors · 2 min readNeroli and bergamot create a bright citrus-aromatic opening that feels fresh and slightly bitter. Cardamom and nutmeg introduce a warm spicy accent that blends with jasmine's floral heart. Pink pepper adds a subtle fruity sharpness that enhances the spice accord without dominating. The base transitions into dry woody notes from guaiac and cedar over amber's resinous warmth. Patchouli provides an earthy foundation that grounds the composition without becoming heavy. Projection starts moderate but pulls closer to skin within the first hour. Longevity reaches around five hours making it suitable for daytime wear in warm weather.
