By the editors · 2 min readLemon opens bright and sharp, immediately cut by cardamom’s cool spice and nutmeg’s dry warmth, forming a citric-herbal flash that feels brisk rather than sweet. Vetiver steps in early, its grassy smoke tethering the citrus while saffron dusts the heart with a leathery, hay-like dryness that turns the fragrance matte. Leather arrives next, smooth and slightly waxy, pulling the vetiver downward and letting frankincense and olibanum raise a cool, resinous haze that blurs edges without adding sweetness. Amber finally settles everything, a quiet glow that keeps the woods, resins and skin-like musk close to the body for hours. Projection stays polite, a one-arm’s-length aura perfect for office or cool spring evenings; longevity stretches past seven hours, slowly folding into a clean incense-laundered shirt skin scent.
