By the editors · 2 min readLime, clove, galbanum, and bergamot open in a burst of citrus-spice with a green, slightly bitter undertone from the galbanum. The clove adds a sharp, assertive warmth that keeps the citrus from reading as simple or linear.
Vetiver emerges in the base alongside amber — the vetiver providing a dry, earthy smokiness while the amber warms and softens. The galbanum's green quality lingers through the transition, bridging the top and base.
The dry-down is an earthy, amber-vetiver accord with residual spice. It's a confident, no-frills composition — the clove and galbanum pairing gives it an austere, slightly retro character that suits cooler weather well.
