By the editors · 2 min readStar anise opens with a black-licorice snap that grapefruit immediately slices open, releasing a tart, peppered citrus edge sharpened by cardamom’s cool, lemon-peel heat. The heart reprises cardamom, now warmer and greener, while clary sage adds a fuzzy, bittersweet herb layer that muffles the top’s brightness without erasing it. Cedar arrives early, drying the blend to a clean blond wood that carries the spice forward, and patchouli lands last, earthy and lightly camphorous, anchoring the composition in a soft, matte finish rather than syrupy depth. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours, making it office-safe yet lively. Cool spring and crisp fall days fit best, where the citrus-anise lift can cut through mild chill without overheating in summer sun.
