By the editors · 2 min readHoney opens thick and waxy, almost candied, until grapefruit slices through with a bitter-pink brightness that keeps the sweetness from cloying. The heart folds violet’s cool, powdery suede around incense and labdanum, creating a smoky floral amber that feels both syrupy and slightly metallic. As the base settles, sandalwood and vetiver dry the accord, cedar adding splinters while vanilla and musk keep a skin-close hum of warm sugar. Projection drops to arm’s length within three hours, leaving a quiet resin-wood trail that reads darker than the opening honey blast. Cool autumn evenings, smart-casual dinners, office after six.
