By the editors · 2 min readThe opening strikes immediately—green, resinous cardamom with a faintly medicinal edge, less sweet than austere. It feels deliberate, almost austere, like stepping into a wood-paneled study rather than a garden.
As it settles, rose emerges but never softens the composition. This is rose stripped of powder and sentimentality, held taut against smoky cedar and the mineral salinity of ambergris. The musk underneath is clean, almost soapy, lending an old-fashioned barbershop propriety to the whole structure.
What remains is oddly formal—a fragrance that smells expensive without trying to charm. It evokes a certain kind of restraint, the scent of someone who wears cufflinks daily and means it. Not warm, not particularly inviting, but undeniably composed.
