By the editors · 2 min readCardamom snaps open with a cool, green-tinged spice that feels almost mentholated against the skin. The heart folds in creamy Australian sandalwood whose lactones pick up jasmine’s indole-rich petals, while patchouli adds a clean, leaf-dusted earth that keeps the white flowers from turning sugary. As the skin warms, iris butter releases a cool, carrot-and-v-violet starch that powder-coats the amber, turning what could have been a heavy resin into something suede-soft and lunar. White musk lingers longest, a salt-water rinse that lets the wood re-emerge as a quiet, blond glow rather than bakery sweetness. Projection stays at handshake distance for six hours, perfect for quiet offices or cool spring evenings when you want presence without announcement.
