By the editors · 2 min readLemon and bergamot flash bright and metallic, then cinnamon sweeps in with a dry, papery heat that tamps the citrus oils within minutes. Lavender adds a clean, slightly camphorous edge that keeps the spice from turning syrupy, while labdanum supplies a quiet, resinous backdrop that softens the transition to the base. Moss dominates the dry-down, casting a cool, loamy veil over sandalwood’s creamy planks and cedar’s pencil-shave dust; patchouli lends a muted earthiness, and musk stays close to the skin, extending wear without adding sweetness. Projection hovers at arm’s length for four hours, then settles to a skin-whispering green-wood hum that works best under autumn layers or a spring jacket.
