By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper crackles on first spray, its dry heat amplified by nutmeg’s sweet woodiness. Sage enters quickly, adding a camphorous green facet that slices through the spice cake and pulls the scent toward aromatic woods rather than bakery gourmand. Tonka bean lands in the base with a soft almond-coumarin sheen, letting amber spread warm resin while oakmoss supplies a cool, loamy grip that keeps the sweetness in check. Over three hours the peppery edge mellows, leaving a skin-close weave of dusty tonka, earthy moss and low-glow amber that reads quietly masculine. Projection stays within arm’s length; it feels made for cool spring offices or brisk fall weekends when you want polish without statement.
