By the editors · 2 min readCinnamon opens with a dry, papery heat that crackles against saffron’s leathery iodine edge, creating an immediate spiced-amber glow rather than pastry sweetness. The heart slides iris into powdery gear: amber resin fattens the spice while iris lays a cool, chalky sheet across the top, muting projection and tilting the accord toward suede. Vetiver threads smoke through the late heart, its grassy bitterness pruning the amber’s syrup so the base lands taut rather than syrupy. White musk sheathes the skin quietly, letting tobacco’s dried-leaf rasp dominate the far dry, a papery, almost cedar-cigar finish that smells cleanly sun-cured rather than dense or sweet. Moderate sillage stays within arm’s length for six hours, steering easiest toward cool autumn nights and smart-casual rooms where spice wants manners, not megaphones.
