By the editors · 2 min readPink pepper, cardamom, and bergamot announce themselves with a spiced, citrus-edged brightness. The opening is lively and faceted, the cardamom grounding the pepper's heat before the heart opens.
Magnolia and rose give a soft floral presence that doesn't dominate; clove steers the fragrance darker and spicier. Tonka bean bridges the transition to base, where vanilla and civet generate a warm, skin-close animalic quality. The civet is present but not crude — it reads as lived-in warmth rather than anything extreme.
The final dry-down is dense and close-wearing: warm spice over creamy vanilla with a persistent animalic undercurrent. This rewards patience through its transitions and suits cooler weather.
