By the editors · 2 min readCinnamon and cardamom crackle open with immediate heat, their resinous sweetness pulling anise into a licorice-tinged spark that feels like burnt sugar on wood. Incense rises next, folding smoke around supple leather and dry tobacco leaf so the spices darken into a tarry, almost candied accord rather than a raw campfire. Vetiver cuts through the middle with cool, grassy rootiness, stopping the confection from cloying while cedar splinters provide brittle structure for the vanilla that slowly seeps up from below. In the dry-down the vanilla turns smoky, not creamy, weaving with the lingering tobacco into a soft, grey ash-powder that clings to skin and clothes alike. Projection stays within arm’s length for seven hours, then withdraws to a skin-whisper of sweet soot. Cool autumn nights, outdoor concerts, or any place where air can carry embered spice without choking the room.
