By the editors · 2 min readClove and nutmeg open with immediate warmth — dry and sharp rather than baked, more spice rack than dessert. Ylang-ylang enters next, lending a heady, slightly rubbery floral quality that softens the spice without erasing it. Cedar keeps the structure clean and prevents the heart from turning syrupy.
Amber, vanilla, and patchouli anchor the base in predictable but effective fashion: earthy-sweet warmth with enough resinous depth to feel substantial. Patchouli adds soil-and-camphor earthiness against the vanilla's creaminess. The overall character is a warm-spicy oriental with a real floral heart — more complex than many amber-vanilla constructions, and it wears richly in cool air.
