By the editors · 2 min readCedar and cardamom open together, the wood dry and pencil-shaving sharp, the spice lifted and slightly green. The first impression is unfussy and quietly dry rather than warm.
The middle phase is brief in the input but reads as a transition from the cool top into the warmer base, the cedar still humming and the cardamom mellowing into a soft spicy haze. There is no floral or fruit interruption.
The base is opoponax-led, balsamic and slightly resinous, with musk thinning out the sweetness for a skin-close finish. The overall character is a quiet, balsamic woody amber, more whisper than statement, suited to cool weather and intimate situations rather than projection-driven wear.
