By the editors · 2 min readHomem Essence opens with a ginger-citrus combination that reads energetic and warm rather than clean and cool — the ginger leading, bergamot and grapefruit following. It establishes a tone that's more spiced than fresh from the first moment.
Cinnamon, black pepper, and cardamom in the heart build the spice architecture further, violet providing a powdery counterpoint that keeps the spice from reading purely culinary. The base is the composition's most interesting section: Iso E Super's elusive woody-cedar quality mingles with guaiac, cashmeran, and patchouli for a rich, lasting woody-musky accord that reads contemporary without being anonymous. Cedar and amber round it to something genuinely warm. An accomplished aromatic spicy wood from Brazil's leading perfume house.
