By the editors · 2 min readCinnamon opens with a searing heat, its red-dust bite amplified by saffron’s iodine gleam and nutmeg’s oily sweetness, creating an immediate spiced-balsamic haze. Incense and cardamom arrive seconds later, the resin’s cool smoke slicing through the sugar so the accord never cloys, while papyrus in the heart adds a dry, crackling-paper facet that keeps the spices airborne. Sandalwood and cedar gradually tilt the balance from kitchen to forest, their blond creaminess softening the cinnamon without erasing it, and ambergris lends a salt-skin glow that makes the embers read like sun-warmed bark rather than potpourri. Patchouli and musk settle last, earthy and slightly sweaty, extending the woody-spice trail for hours. Projection stays at arm’s length; best in cool weather, office-safe if sprayed once.
