By the editors · 2 min readSaffron opens dry and leathery, its hay-like bitterness streaked with the electric snap of pink pepper. The heart folds in violet leaf, adding a cool green lift that keeps the tonka from turning overly creamy, while nutmeg and cedar push a soft wood spine through the middle. Ambergris washes the base with a salty skin musber that turns the lingering spice into something intimate rather than loud. Projection stays within handshake range for six hours, then collapses to a suede-tonka skin veil perfect for office or close-quarter fall dates.
