By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and cinnamon arrive together with an immediate warmth, the clove adding a sharp, slightly medicinal edge before the composition settles. The opening is brisk but clearly points toward something heavier beneath.
Patchouli moves to the foreground in the heart, earthy and full, tempered by an iris that keeps the composition from turning too dark or rootsy. The spice doesn't disappear — it threads through the patchouli rather than stepping aside.
Labdanum and cedar ground the dry-down, drawing the iris slightly powdery while musk softens the edges. The result is a spiced, resinous patchouli study — dense but not aggressive, with the iris providing a cool counterpoint throughout.
