By the editors · 2 min readCardamom opens dry and peppery, its green heat cracking against lemon’s sharp zest while incense smoke coils upward, creating an immediate aromatic haze. The lemon fades quickly, letting the spice melt into patchouli’s dark chocolate earthiness; papyrus adds a brittle, paper-like dryness that keeps the heart from ever feeling syrupy. Oakmoss spreads a cool, mineral-green blanket through the late heart, muting the patchouli and setting the stage for tobacco leaf to emerge as the dominant skin scent. That tobacco is leaf rather than pipe—dry, slightly sweet, carrying the incense’s leftover ash and a faint cardamom memory so the base never turns heavy or damp. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours, making it an easy wear for cool spring or autumn offices where incense smoke and earthy tobacco can breathe without overwhelming the room.
