By the editors · 2 min readBirch opens dry and papery, a cool bark note that strips sweetness away from basil’s green bite and bergamot’s brief flash of sour zest. The heart slips in cardamom’s toasted camphor warmth, letting jasmine stay transparent so the spice hovers stays dominant while cedar shavings already rise from below. As skin heat builds, sandalwood’s milk meets patchouli’s cocoa earth, turning the earlier dryness into a clean blond wood panel tinged with faint smoke. Projection stays office-polite for five hours then settles into washed-cotton skin scent perfect for collar-close meetings. Cool spring mornings and rainy city summers fit its quiet forest-in-a-shirt character.
