By the editors · 2 min readCinnamon dominates the opening, its dry bark-like heat quickly joined by saffron’s leathery pollen and nutmeg’s rough sweetness, forming a coarse, slightly oily spice crust. Cedar enters early, not the clean pencil-shaving kind but a splintery trunk still sticky with resin, tempering the culinary spices into something more rugged and wood-smoke-tinged. Over the first hour the spices fold into labdanum’s thick amber, patchouli’s cool loam, and vanilla that stays dark and tarry rather than dessert-like, so the base feels like scorched honey glued to bark. Projection remains close but persistent, wafting a warm, papery sweetness that suggests old books stored in a cedar chest. Best worn in cool weather when its spiced resin can smolder slowly against skin without turning cloying.
