By the editors · 2 min readLime and bergamot provide a sharp citrus opening that is immediately warmed by cardamom and nutmeg, creating a spicy-aromatic top accord. Pineapple adds a juicy fruity brightness that contrasts with the earthy cedar heart, lending a tropical twist to the woody structure. Orange blossom introduces a subtle floral sweetness that bridges the top and base, preventing the spices from dominating. Sandalwood and guaiac wood form a dry, creamy woody base, while oakmoss contributes a classic chypre-like mossy earthiness. Amber wraps the dry-down in a warm, resinous blanket, ensuring the scent remains balanced between fresh and earthy. Projection is moderate initially, receding to a personal bubble within two hours, with longevity around six to eight hours. Ideal for spring or fall evenings, it suits both casual and formal occasions in cool weather.
