By the editors · 2 min readPink pepper crackles first, a papery spice that lifts bergamot into a bright, fizzy citrus halo. The heart is empty on paper, yet the cardamom listed in the general field slips in early, adding a cool, green-tinged aromatic facet that keeps the pepper from turning dry. Ambrox and Ambroxan fuse into one clean, mineral ambergrate that hums close to skin, while white musk fluffs the base into laundered cotton rather than animal sweetness. Over two hours the citrus flash subsides, leaving a soft-spicy, lactonic veil that feels like chilled almond milk spilled on warm skin. Projection stays polite, a forearm’s reach, perfect for summer office days or humid travel. The composition is linear but smooth, fading to a skin-scent whisper of musky, lactonic wood.
