By the editors · 2 min readLemon and bergamot deliver a sharp, fresh citrus opening that is immediately tempered by basil's green, slightly sweet herbal quality. Lavender and clary sage introduce a classic aromatic, slightly camphorous heart, while ylang-ylang adds a soft, creamy floral sweetness and cinnamon provides a warm, spicy undertone. The base reveals oakmoss's damp, earthy character and cumin's distinctive savory, animalic warmth, which blends with a clean musk to create a dry, aromatic, and somewhat rustic finish. This scent evolves from a bright aromatic opening to a warmer, spicier, and mossy dry-down with moderate projection that becomes skin-close. It suits casual daytime wear in cool to warm weather, particularly during spring or fall.
