By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and nutmeg open with a citrus-spice combination — the nutmeg's warm, aromatic quality contrasting with bergamot's clean brightness from the first application. The spice is dry and assertive, not sweetened. Incense and cedar form the base, with incense introducing a resinous, slightly smoky quality and cedar providing a dry, sharp wood foundation.
The overall character is spare and slightly austere: spiced citrus top, resinous-smoky base, with no sweetness or florals to soften the edges. The incense-nutmeg-bergamot axis reads as quietly masculine and meditative. A minimalist construction that suits cool, formal settings where its disciplined restraint reads as purposeful.
