By the editors · 2 min readSage opens dry and camphoraceous, its herbal bitterness amplified by cardamom’s sharp, peppery heat while violet contributes a cool, powdery hilt that keeps the top from turning harsh. The heart is empty, so the transition is abrupt: cedar arrives early, its pencil-shaving woodiness stacking directly onto the spices and erasing most of the floral veil within twenty minutes. Clean white musk swells underneath, shearing the cedar into a matte, papery plank that smells like stacked stationery left in a sun-warmed drawer. On skin the scent stays linear after the first half-hour, projecting a calm, gender-neutral wood sheet that feels office-ready rather than exotic. Sillage sits at arm’s length for about five hours before folding into a cedar-musk skin tint best suited to cool spring days or overly air-conditioned workplaces.
