By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper and cardamom open with a brisk, aromatic spice that feels both warm and stimulating on initial contact. Bergamot provides a sharp citrus lift that cuts through the peppery heat, establishing a complex and invigorating top accord. Orris root and saffron emerge in the heart, introducing a dry, powdery floral character that melds seamlessly with the cedar's pencil-shaving woodiness. Cinnamon and leather define the dry-down, adding a sweet, resinous warmth and a subtle, supple animalic texture over the vanilla and vetiver base. The composition evolves from a bright spice bouquet into a deeper, woody-oriental character with notable persistence on skin. Projection remains moderate for several hours before settling into a closer, intimate scent trail best suited for cooler weather and evening occasions.
