By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is bright citrus tempered immediately by a soft licorice sweetness—star anise makes itself known early, weaving through the bergamot like smoke. This is gourmand territory, but quieter than expected, with lavender lending an herbal coolness that keeps the composition from tipping into pure confection.
As it settles, tonka bean amplifies the sweetness while patchouli adds a dusky, slightly earthy backbone. The interplay between lavender's aromatic clean and the anise-tonka pairing creates something between a barbershop and a candy shop, familiar yet slightly disorienting. Cedar provides just enough wood to ground it.
Best suited to those who want sweetness with an edge of strangeness, or who find traditional gourmands too one-dimensional. It wears casual and unpretentious, more about comfort than seduction.
