By the editors · 2 min readOrange opens bright and candied, a sweet-tart flash that quickly folds into star anise’s licorice snap. Cardamom seeds the heart with dry, lemon-peel heat, lifting the anise away from candy territory and grounding it against patchouli’s cool, loamy earth. The base stays clean rather than heavy, patchouli stripped of sweetness so the lingering trail smells like shaved citrus peel scattered on dark soil. Projection stays close, a skin-radius aura that shifts from juicy to quietly woody-spice as the orange fades. Office-safe and summer-night casual, it performs like a crisp shirt that loosens a single button after dusk.
