By the editors · 2 min readBergamot flashes bright and brief, a citrus spark that lasts minutes before cinnamon seizes the skin with dry, woody heat sharpened by cardamom’s peppery lift. The heart duo bakes into sandalwood’s creamy grain, turning the spice darker and drier while amber pours adds a translucent resinous glow that prevents the wood from turning brittle. Patchouli arrives late, folding earth and camphor into the ember, so the dry-down smells like scorched bark dusted with sweet amber rather than a classic oriental. Projection stays arm-length for six hours, then settles into a warm sandal-patchouli skin veil perfect for cool autumn nights or layered under a wool coat.
