By the editors · 2 min readPink pepper bursts open with a bright, rosy heat that cardamom’s green-camphor bite quickly stiffens, while bergamot keeps the top aerated. The heart folds creamy tonka around magnolia’s lemon-peach petals, letting clove’s dry wood echo the opening spice and allowing a velvety rose to bloom quietly underneath. As the musk-civet tandem warms on skin, vanilla softens the leathery civet castoreum facet, turning the base into a honeyed fur that still carries the ghost of magnolia’s creamy rubber. Projection stays within arm’s length for eight hours, projecting best in cool autumn air and low-light social settings where its animalic purr can register without shouting.
