By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens with a sharp, slightly bitter citrus edge that quickly folds into nutmeg's dry, peppery warmth. The heart spice adds a subtle toasted quality that bridges the bright top to the creamy base. Tonka bean, sandalwood and vanilla create a soft, almond-like sweetness tinged with faint tobacco nuances, while cardamom threads a cool, green-spicy lift through the dry-down. On skin the scent stays close, projecting no more than arm's length for roughly six hours before settling into a powdery, slightly milky skin musk. Cool autumn days and smart-casual offices suit its polite sillage best.
