By the editors · 2 min readBergamot flashes quickly, letting saffron and cardamom take over with a dry, papery spice that scatters iris powder across the cedar planks. The heart keeps rose polite, its petals steeped in the same saffron dye so the flower reads more as a reddish stain than full bloom, while vanilla slowly melts the edges. Once the spices settle, tonka and caramel spread like soft toffee over sandalwood, letting patchouli add a cocoa-brown earthiness that keeps the base from turning dessert-sweet. Projection stays within arm’s length for most of the wearing, projecting best in cool autumn air where the caramel can warm without cloying.
