By the editors · 2 min readBasil and bergamot open brisk and slightly bitter, setting a cool aromatic tone before cinnamon seizes the heart with dry, bark-like heat. The spice rides over sandalwood’s creamy grain, while patchouli adds earthy leafiness that keeps the woods from turning sweet. Jasmine and rose lend subtle floral lift, yet the accord stays resolutely masculine, edging into leather polished with benzoin and a pinch of vanilla. Oakmoss creeps in late, spreading a cool, forest-floor shadow that reins in the amber glow and gives the dry-down a restrained, almost saddle-soap quietness. Sillage sits at arm’s length for six hours, projecting a tailored spice-wood aura ideal for cool autumn offices or an evening blazer. Complexity is moderate: the leather and moss keep the vanilla polite, letting the cinnamon-wood duet carry the narrative through without dessert excess.
