By the editors · 2 min readCardamom opens with a warm-spicy aromatic lift that is both peppery and slightly citrusy. Sandalwood forms the core, its creamy woodiness amplified by incense and frankincense's smoky resinous quality. Leather and amber create a dry, slightly animalic base over papyrus's dry papery texture. The scent transitions from spicy top to a smoky woody heart before settling into a leather-amber dry-down. Longevity exceeds twelve hours with strong sillage that remains potent for hours. Best for fall and winter formal or evening wear in cold conditions.
