By the editors · 2 min readClove opens alone — dry, hot, and faintly medicinal. The single-note opening is short but assertive, setting an old-fashioned spiced tone before softer material arrives.
Tonka bean and tobacco form the heart. Tobacco adds dry-leaf depth, tonka warms it with an almond-vanilla edge that keeps the smoke from going austere. The combination reads classically warm-feminine in a retro register, with clove continuing to pulse through.
Amber and vanilla form the base. The drydown is plush and softly sweet — amber adding rounded warmth, vanilla lifting the tonka's almond toward something comforting. Tobacco persists in trace form. A warm-oriental gourmand-adjacent, projecting moderately into a comforting skin scent.
