By the editors · 2 min readBasil and bergamot spark a green-citrus snap sharpened by nutmeg's peppery warmth. The heart layers lavender's cool camphor tone against jasmine's indolic cream and osmanthus' apricot suede, while cedar splinters provide dry woody scaffolding. Black pepper crackles across the florals, preventing them from turning sweet. In the base, sandalwood's milky wood feeds into vetiver's rooty smoke, amber spreads a resinous glow, and tobacco leaf adds a brown-paper dryness that keeps thyme's green bite alive. Musk sheathes the accord in clean skin salt. The scent moves from brisk kitchen garden to softly honeyed woods, maintaining aromatic tension throughout. Projection sits at arm's length for six hours, then lingers as a woody musk haze perfect for smart-casual spring outings.
