By the editors · 2 min readCardamom sparks the top with a cool, peppery green flash that quickly folds into a softly metallic iris and camphor-edged sage heart. The iris steers the blend toward clean, talcum-powder airiness while the sage keeps it dry and slightly bitter, shaving off any dessert lean. In the base, vanilla warms the woods without turning sweet; instead it acts like a sheer layer that lets sandalwood’s creamy facets and guaiac’s quiet smoke hover close to skin. Cedar sharpens the finish, extending a pencil-shaving edge that stops the vanilla from pudding out. Projection stays office-polite for about five hours, then relaxes into a clean wood musk perfect for spring workdays or post-gym errands.
