By the editors · 2 min readLavender dominates the opening, a double dose that smells both floral and camphoraceous, sharpened by twin basil leaves that add a green, slightly peppery edge. Neroli keeps the citrus facet thin and metallic, while anise contributes a faint licorice snap that lingers just seconds. The heart is brief: nutmeg supplies dry wood warmth, clary sage adds a musky tobacco-like undertone that bridges to the base. Once the moss-leather accord settles, the composition turns dry and shadowy; vetiver doubles the earthy bitterness, amber softens the edges with powdery resin, cedar gives clean wood structure, and musk acts as a skin-close binder. Projection stays polite, a forearm-radius office scent that feels coolest in fall through spring.
