By the editors · 2 min readBasil and nutmeg crackle together in the opening, the herb’s green bite sharpening the seed’s peppery heat while bergamot keeps the citrus spine bright. Vetiver and cedar arrive quickly, swapping brightness for dry, smoky wood that pulls the spices downward; thyme threads an additional bitter-green edge through the grain. Cumin surfaces early in the heart, its sweaty warmth folding into castoreum’s leathery funk so the woods turn raw and skin-like, sandalwood only softening the rough edges once the base settles. After two hours the projection hovers just outside shirt-collar range, a resinous wood–animalic haze that favors cool days and informal city wear.
