By the editors · 2 min readCardamom opens with a green aromatic snap that quickly meets a dark-roast coffee note, both notes pushing a warm-spicy edge that feels simultaneously brisk and toasted. The heart folds ambroxan’s mineral sheen around nutmeg’s dry woodiness, amplifying the coffee’s bitterness while adding a clean, almost saline lift that keeps the spice from turning sugary. As the base settles, oakmoss and vetiver lay down a cool, earthy carpet that mutes the leather’s smoke and lets cedar’s pencil-shaving dryness dominate the late hours, turning the earlier coffee warmth into something crisp and forest-floor quiet. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours before it relaxes into a clean woody skin scent. Cool autumn days and office wear suit its balance of aromatic freshness and restrained earthy leather.
