By the editors · 2 min readCumin bursts forward oily and animalic, its sweat-salted spice grabbing the nose before nutmeg’s dry warmth softens the edges. The heart slides into sandalwood’s creamy lactones while cedar splinters a clean pencil-shave dryness through the cream, keeping the wood accord angular rather than plush. Over hours the musk base emerges as a clean-skin musk that scours away the spice residues and leaves a neutral, faintly woody haze sitting close to the body. Projection stays polite, creating a subtle spicy-wood aura that works best in cool weather and office-safeing contexts where loud projection would feel transgressive.
