By the editors · 2 min readPink pepper and lemon open with a tart-spicy lift, the pepper carrying a slightly fizzy edge and the lemon keeping things clean. The opening's brevity points to a composition focused on its base.
Sage and cedar build the heart into a dry, herbal-woody middle. The sage lends a green, slightly bitter facet against cedar's pencil-shaving dryness — the structural skeleton between bright start and dark base.
Tonka bean and cocoa close into a rich gourmand drydown. Cocoa is the loudest base note, lending a bitter chocolate depth, while tonka softens it with coumarin sweetness. Overall reads as a peppery-herbal opening into a chocolate-coumarin base — sweet-aromatic shape, cooler-weather suited, evening and date-leaning.
