By the editors · 2 min readRosemary dominates the opening, its resinous green bite crackling against bergamot's bitter citrus edge while lemon and orange add brief, bright sparks that evaporate within minutes. The heart trades sparkle for structure: dry Virginia cedar planks meet creamy sandalwood, and the pairing absorbs lavender's clean camphor and basil's peppery green so the accord smells like a newly built cedar chest lined with fresh herbs. Cardamom quietly infiltrates as the woods mellow, dusting the cedar with a faint ginger warmth that the musk later stretches into a soft, grey, skin-close haze. Projection stays polite, wafting no farther than arm's length for about five hours before collapsing into a clean musk-tinged wood that works best under light spring or early-fall layers.
