By the editors · 2 min readCardamom opens with a warm, aromatic spiciness that is both inviting and slightly piquant on first contact. Sandalwood and vetiver form the heart, with the sandalwood's creamy woodiness blending into vetiver's dry, earthy root character for a smooth woody accord. This central accord remains linear for some time, offering a dry and sophisticated woody aroma that feels unisex and composed. Amber and tonka bean emerge in the base, imparting a gentle resinous sweetness and a soft, vanillic warmth to the dry-down. Projection is intimate from the start, sitting close to the skin with a longevity that lasts through the day. Ideal for fall and winter evenings, it suits formal or casual settings equally.
