By the editors · 2 min readViolet leaf opens crisp and metallic, slicing through lemon's bright acidity while black pepper sparks across the top to top. Star anise folds into the heart, its licorice sweetness tempering the pepper's heat and linking to amberwood's resinous warmth below. The base stacks dry Virginia cedar against earthy patchouli, both grounded by clean musk that keeps the woods from turning sour. On skin the citrus burns off fast, leaving a cool green-woody spine that stays tight and transparent for hours. Projection sits at arm radius; works best in spring office air conditioning or cool summer nights when you want quiet presence rather than statement.
