By the editors · 2 min readSage and lavender open briskly over grapefruit, with cardamom adding a faintly resinous edge. The herbal quality is dry rather than culinary — sage keeps things slightly austere, and the grapefruit citrus fades quickly rather than leading.
Cedar takes over in the heart, and here the composition really settles. Three cedar facets stack into a dense, slightly smoky woodiness that leans aromatic rather than sharp. Cypriol and patchouli in the base push the cedar toward darker, earthier territory, while labdanum and tonka bean round out the edges with a quiet resinous warmth.
The result is a woody-aromatic with real depth. Cool-weather wear; good longevity expected from the resinous base.
