By the editors · 2 min readGinger opens hot and slightly fizzy, cardamom adding a green-soapy lift, orange and orange blossom giving a brief sun-warm citrus-floral bloom. The opening is spicy-bright and unfolds quickly.
Cinnamon takes over the heart with its red-brown warmth, tuberose blooming heavy and slightly indolic alongside, olibanum adding a cool resinous incense thread that tempers the floral richness. Cedar and sandalwood frame the spice with dry then creamy wood. The base commits to leather and amber — golden, slightly animal, a smoky-warm sweetness from tonka humming underneath, musk pulling everything close. Texture is dense, warm, slightly humid, the leather-tuberose pairing reading sensual and a touch transgressive.
The overall character is a dark spicy floral-leather, intense and project for hours.
