By the editors · 2 min readIris and papyrus open with a dry, papery powderiness that feels intellectual and slightly austere. Cardamom introduces a warm, aromatic spice that cuts through the powder, while violet adds a sweet floral nuance to the heart. Virginia cedar brings a crisp woodiness that transitions into a base of smooth sandalwood, supple leather, and faint amber. The dry-down becomes a sophisticated blend of powdery iris, woody warmth, and soft leather, evolving noticeably over three hours. Projection is strong initially, creating an aura of authority before retreating to a moderate, skin-close presence. Longevity extends beyond eight hours, ideal for formal occasions in cool weather.
