By the editors · 2 min readBasil and grapefruit open green-bitter against bright citrus, a snap of kitchen garden meeting breakfast juice. Ginger warms the heart, its peppery root tugging orange blossom honeyed and cardamom’s lemon-peel heat, knitting an aromatic spice lattice that keeps the top’s lift alive. Amber spreads in the base, cedar lending dry pencil-shavings that let tobacco’s blond leaf curl without turning sweet, so the finish smells like sun-warmed wooden shed still holding cured leaves. Wear tests show four-to-five hour longevity with arm-length sillage for the first hour, then settling to skin-whisper perfect for outdoor brunches or casual office days through spring and early fall.
