By the editors · 2 min readStar anise and cardamom create a licorice-spiced opening that immediately meets a bitter espresso roast, giving the first minutes a dark, slightly syrupy edge. Jasmine and lily of the valley arrive early, lifting the coffee with clean white petals while rose adds a faintly jammy undertone that keeps the heart from turning too austere. As the florals recede, myrrh brings a resinous, church-incense smoke that fuses with amber to form a warm, honeyed glow, and musk blankets the late dry-down in soft grey suede. Projection stays within arm’s length for the first three hours, then settles to skin-scent warmth. Cool autumn nights or a quiet café corner suit its introspective character best.
