By the editors · 2 min readPink pepper crackles first, a dry rosy heat that lifts the bergamot into something almost electric rather than zesty. The heart folds in saffron’s leathery iodose edge, letting iris butter mute its metallic side while Virginia cedar splinters the texture into fine wood dust. Incense resin soon climbs through that cedar, turning the wood smoky and church-pipe dark; vetiver sharpens the smoke with raw, green rootiness, and papyrus papers it thin so the accord stays airborne. On skin the shift is swift: the opening sparkle collapses within twenty minutes, replaced by a parchment-cedar skin scent laced with cool incense ash. Projection sits at arm’s length for four hours, then hugs fabric; best in cool weather, office to after-work drink, where quiet woodsmoke reads polished rather than pious.
