By the editors · 2 min readCardamom and bergamot open crisp and aromatic, the spice pricking the citrus oil into immediate lift. Oakmoss, myrrh and vetiver knot the heart into a cool, bitter-green accord that keeps the ambergris saltiness from turning sweet; violet leaf adds a shaded, metallic crunch. Nutmeg warms the weave while cedar splinters underneath, so the transition to base feels like moss drying on bark rather than a creamy fade. Tonka, labdanum and vanilla arrive lean, delivering tobacco-tonka dust and a faint leathered amber that stays close to skin, projecting a calm green-resinous aura for six hours. Cool-weather wear, office to dusk; works best in spring or fall when humidity lets the moss breathe.
