By the editors · 2 min readSapphire opens on pink pepper — mildly spiced, faintly fruity, with a slight sharpness that quickly yields to the heart.
Incense, vetiver, and amber in the heart create a grounded, earthy-smoky middle. Vetiver is dry and rooty; incense adds a cool-smoky ethereal quality; amber provides the warmth that binds the two.
Moss, cedar, and musk in the base extend the natural, woody-mossy quality into a clean finish. This is a quiet, unisex composition — no florals, no sweetness, just spice, earth, smoke, and wood. Restrained and understated. Suited to those who prefer substance over sweetness.
