By the editors · 2 min readCardamom opens cool and aromatic, the only top note carrying a clean spicy lift before the heart takes over. The first minutes feel restrained, almost minimalist — a single bright spice acting as a doorway.
Lavender arrives with ambrox and ambroxan, building a clean, salty-amber heart that reads strikingly modern. Labdanum threads in a balsamic warmth, lending a faint resinous depth. The combination is more about mineral skin than floral or spice.
Cedar, cashmeran, and patchouli in the base finish dry and woody — cedar's pencil-shaving lift, cashmeran's velvet hum, and patchouli's earthy chocolate weight. The overall character is a clean, ambery woody-aromatic in the contemporary masculine idiom: office-friendly, cool-weather, and quietly polished.
