By the editors · 2 min readGinger and nutmeg open with a sharp, warm-spicy kick that citrus notes brighten without softening. Lavender and rosemary emerge quickly, adding an aromatic and herbal quality that tempers the initial spice. Black pepper introduces a dry, peppery texture that threads through the heart. The base reveals a mossy and earthy foundation where cedar and patchouli provide woody depth, while tonka bean adds a subtle sweet warmth. Violet contributes a faint powdery nuance in the final dry-down. Projection is moderate initially, settling to a skin-close presence with good longevity for cooler days, suited for casual or work occasions in fall and winter.
