By the editors · 2 min readCardamom crackles on first spray, its citrusy spice lifting the bergamot into a cool, green flash. The heart keeps the cardamom alive but folds it into lavender's clean stalk and vetiver's dry grass, so the spice feels rooty rather than kitchen-wweet. Tonka arrives early, softening the edges with soft almond warmth while oakmoss pins the composition to a cool forest floor. As skin heat builds, amber spreads a transparent caramel glow that never overtakes the vetiver's earthy hum; the scent stays brisk, slightly salty, like wind through tall dried grasses. Projection sits at arm's length for five hours then pulls close, making it an easy office reach for cool spring mornings or rainy summer days.
