By the editors · 2 min readCedar shows up in the opening alongside lemon and bergamot, an unusual placement that gives the entry a dry-wood sharpness right alongside the bright citrus. It reads more sober than fresh.
Anise carries the entire heart, lending a sweet liquorice thread that softens the cedar's edge and adds a slightly herbal-aromatic register. The transition feels minimal — more a tonal shift than a real development.
Tonka bean and guaiac wood close things out: tonka adding hay-and-almond warmth, guaiac contributing a faintly smoky resinous wood. The base reads warmer than the top suggested, gourmand-leaning without going fully sweet. Overall character is a dry-wood-and-anise composition with a soft tonka close, projecting modestly and tilting toward cool-weather casual wear.
