By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is a quick citrus flash—bergamot with a bite of black pepper—that gives way almost immediately to cardamom's warm, aromatic pull. This isn't a perfume that lingers in its top notes. Within minutes, the spice settles into a creamy, wood-forward base where sandalwood and guaiac provide a smoky, resinous backbone.
What follows is softer than expected: vanilla and tonka bean smooth the edges without turning overtly sweet, while amber and musk add a skin-like warmth. The overall effect is clean but grounded, woody but approachable—closer to a polished casual evening than formal wear.
This is for someone who wants warmth without heaviness, spice without sharpness. It sits close, wears comfortably, and doesn't demand attention. A reliable choice when you want something quietly appealing rather than bold.
