By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper opens with a sharp, dry spice that quickly settles into a warm aromatic veil. Lavender and rose emerge, the floral heart softened by cinnamon's sweet warmth and oakmoss's earthy green depth. Sandalwood and frankincense form a resinous base, with ambergris adding a subtle animalic salinity and cashmeran providing a musky softness. The dry-down is woody and balsamic, retaining a soft spicy character from the pepper and cinnamon. Projection starts moderate but recedes to a skin-scent within three hours, best suited for cool weather evenings.
