By the editors · 2 min readYuzu and mandarin open with a quick cold splash, the kind of citrus that smells like the inside of a freshly peeled rind rather than juice. Cardamom edges in early — green, slightly minty — and sage adds a dry herbal bite that keeps the brightness from turning candied. Once the citrus fades, the heart sits in that aromatic-spiced register without pushing itself forward. Vetiver carries the dry-down: not the smoky New Orleans kind, but a lean, papery-grass version that stays close to the skin. A whisper of amber rounds the edges. The whole composition runs cool and dry from start to finish, built for heat without sweetness.
