By the editors · 2 min readCinnamon dominates the opening, its dry bark heat crackling against black and pink pepper sparks to create an immediate warm-spicy glare. Cardamom slides underneath, lending a green-citrus lift that keeps the spice from turning gritty, while benzoin in the heart pours a resinous amber current that softens the edges and adds balsamic depth. The dry-down settles into sandalwood and guaiac wood, the former creamy, the latter lightly smoky, so the accord ends as a woody-balsamic ember rather than a churchy incense. Projection stays within arm’s reach for six hours, making it an easy cool-weather choice for office or casual evening wear where spice needs manners.
