By the editors · 2 min readGalbanum slashes first, a bitter-green blade that drags lime and grapefruit along its edge. The citrus snap is immediate, yet black pepper and cardamom dust the fruit so it never turns sugary. Sage and lavender step in early, drying the citrus oils and pulling the scent toward a cool, sun-bleached woodiness before any flower can bloom. Vetiver arrives with the incense and cedar, not smoky but rooty and slightly salty, as if moss were still clinging to the roots. Amber warms the base just enough to keep the wood from cracking, while patchouli gives a quiet earth echo that lasts through the afternoon. Projection stays polite, a handshake’s reach that softens to shirt-cuff whisper after four hours, ideal for suited summer Fridays or linen-shirt travel days.
