By the editors · 2 min readItalian lemon hits first, but cardamom is right behind it — bright citrus immediately tempered by a green-resinous spice. Apple adds a juicier facet without going sweet. The opening reads as a gourmand-aromatic hybrid rather than a straight cologne.
The heart turns warm and dry. Nutmeg and Madagascar cloves carry a smoky-spicy thread; Indonesian patchouli leaf grounds it in earth and damp wood. There's a recognizable trace of the 2010s spicy-masculine accord here — the same family as a dozen Mugler-adjacent woody-spice releases.
"Lava" and styrax in the base are the interesting move: a mineral, slightly sulfurous, balsamic warmth, with musk smoothing the edges. The whole thing wears closer than its spice content suggests — three to five hours, modest projection, pitched toward cool-weather casual wear.
