By the editors · 2 min readStar anise snaps open with a cool, licorice-green edge that feels almost ozonic. Within minutes incense coils through, its resinous smoke sweetened by galbanum’s bitter leaf bite, turning the accord into damp forest floor. Cedar and moss arrive together, the wood dry and splintery, the moss cool and loamy, while patchouli anchors everything with a quiet earthy hum rather than loud funk. The heart stays green and slightly medicinal, never sweet, as the star anise’s sparkle fades into a soft incense ember. Wear it close and you’ll catch a steady skin-scent whisper of crushed leaves and rain-soaked bark that lasts about six hours. Projection stays polite, sillage arm-length; it feels made for spring drizzles, a walk under a hoodie, or an open-window office where you want to smell like the outdoors without leaving your desk.
