By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper and nutmeg deliver a sharp, warm-spicy opening that quickly settles into sage's aromatic greenness. The heart feels herbal and slightly dry, providing a clean counterpoint to the top's piquancy. Tonka bean introduces a sweet, coumarin-rich warmth that blends with amber's resinous glow and oakmoss's earthy, mossy depth. The dry-down is a balanced fusion of aromatic herbs and sweetened woods, with a subtle powdery texture from tonka. Projection remains intimate, hovering close to skin after the first hour, with longevity around five hours. Ideal for casual daytime wear in spring or fall, this works well for work or outdoor activities in mild weather.
