By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper snaps open with a dry, woody crackle that cardamom softens into a resinous green heat. the heart is dominated by fennel, its licorice-sweet greenness threading through the spices and pulling them toward an almost medicinal coolness. as the base settles, saffron and nutmeg dust the composition in a warm, hay-like dustiness while castoreum adds a sour, leathery musk that clings to skin like old fur. tobacco arrives late, not as smoke but as cured leaf, earthy and slightly sweet, anchoring the earlier green-spice swirl in a brown, chewy weight. projection stays within arm’s reach for six hours, then collapses to a skin-level hum of tobacco and musk. cool autumn evenings, unstructured wool jackets, and the quiet hour after the bar closes.
