By the editors · 2 min readLavender opens cool and camphoraceous, sharpened by cardamom that crackles like green pepper. Pineapple lands next, its syrupy brightness lifting the herbs while nutmeg threads warm spice through the fruit. The amber base turns the composition fuzzy, radiating soft resin that blurs the earlier edges; oakmoss adds a quiet forest floor bitterness, keeping the sweetness in check. On skin the pineapple fades first, leaving lavender and nutmeg to hover over a mellow moss-amber cushion that stays close but steady. Projection sits at polite office distance; wear it spring through early fall for work or weekend errands. The scent is uncomplicated, friendly, and easy to re-spray.
