By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper and bergamot crack open with a dry, sparkling hit that feels like crushed ice on skin. Lavender rushes in next, cool and cleanly herbal, its camphored edge slicing through the pepper’s heat while vetiver adds a rooty, almost smoky bitterness underneath. Pink pepper rekindles the opening spark, but now it’s wrapped in patchouli’s earthy leafiness, turning the heart into a grey-green forest floor dusted with spice. Ambroxan and labdanum take over late, stretching the wood into a salt-sweet, skin-warmed amber haze that keeps cedar’s pencil-sharp dryness hovering just above the skin. Projection stays polite, a one-arm-length aura perfect for office corridors or after-work drinks when you want presence without announcement.
