By the editors · 2 min readCardamom introduces a warm, aromatic spice that immediately establishes a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Coffee and iris form the heart, with the coffee's rich, roasted bitterness contrasting the iris's cool, powdery earthiness. Benzoin and vanilla from the base begin to soften the composition early, adding a resinous sweetness that wraps around the central accord. Leather and patchouli emerge in the dry-down, providing a dry, slightly rugged texture that grounds the sweeter elements. Ambroxan contributes a modern, ambery-musky lift that prevents the base from becoming too heavy or gourmand. Sillage is moderate and diffuse, projecting a comforting aura that remains intimate after the first hour. Longevity extends well through the day, making it suitable for cool fall and winter days, ideal for casual or cozy indoor settings.
