There isn't much heart to speak of. Amber rises quickly to take over, broad and resinous, sitting under the herbs almost from the start. The transition is short and the structure is essentially top-to-base.
Virginia cedar and musk handle the drydown, the cedar pencil-dry and the musk warm-skin clean. The amber stays in charge throughout, lending a soft warmth that's masculine in a 90s-mall-cologne sense rather than a niche-amber one. Best in cool weather where the resin holds; in heat the herbal opening reads thin and the amber turns flat.
