By the editors · 2 min readStar anise opens cool and licorice-snap sharp, dripping a faint green sweetness that immediately feels outdoorsy. Patchouli and Virginia cedar arrive together, the patchouli lending a dry cocoa-earth facet while cedar’s pencil-shaving wood keeps the accord stripped and lean. Oakmoss and labdanum in the base darken the frame, adding a soft tar-bitter edge that pushes the licorice note toward worn leather rather than candy. A second patchouli wave in the dry-down reintroduces earth, now dusted with cedar and moss so the scent stays rugged instead of syrupy. Projection sits at arm’s length for six hours, then settles to skin; the mossy backbone makes it ideal for cool drizzly hikes or city nights when you want to smell like wet forest floor.
