By the editors · 2 min readCardamom sparks the opening with a cool, peppery green bite that quickly folds into a rubbery, cream-slicked gardenia heart. The white floral is not lush but waxy, edged by the spice so it reads more greenhouse than bouquet. Frankincense rises early, threading a piney, lemon-peel incense that keeps the bloom from turning too sweet. Amber and musk arrive late, forming a dry, smoky-powdery skin layer that lingers close. Projection stays moderate, best for spring evenings or humid outdoor dinners where the resin can breathe.
