By the editors · 2 min readCedar, cardamom, bergamot, and clary sage assemble a spiced aromatic opening with genuine complexity for a top note ensemble. Cedar is unusual in the top — it likely reads here as a sharpening, slightly pencil-woody note rather than full woody base. Cardamom brings culinary spice, clary sage adds herbal depth, and bergamot lifts the combination with citrus brightness.
Ambergris forms the sole base note — a warm, marine-tinged, lightly animalic material that extends the composition into skin-warm territory. The minimalism of the base lets the ambergris work fully. The overall composition moves from spiced-aromatic complexity to a warm, intimate close. An interesting structure that rewards wearing close to skin in its later hours.
