By the editors · 2 min readOrange, lemon and grapefruit charge forward with a candied zest that feels sugared rather than sharp, the oils left slightly pulpy on the skin. Cinnamon lands immediately after, not the dry stick but the simmering red-hot candy type, warming the citrus until it smells like spiced marmalade spread over cedar planks. As the sweetness subsides, tonka bean folds the spice into a creamy, faintly almond paste while vanilla keeps the glow alive; vetiver adds only a mild grassiness, enough to stop the accord from turning into dessert. The dry-down stays close-close, a soft brown-sugar wood that hovers just above skin level for the rest of the wearing. Projection is polite, office-safe; cool days let the cinnamon bloom, yet the citrus keeps it wearable in early spring.
