By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper and grapefruit open with a sharp, effervescent burst that feels both spicy and bright, settling quickly into a warm heart. Nutmeg emerges as the dominant mid-wear note, its soft-spicy character blending with the crisp citrus remnants. Anise introduces a subtle licorice-like sweetness that intertwines with the dry cedar and moss base. Olibanum adds a faint resinous quality, deepening the composition without overwhelming the fresh-spicy core. The dry-down remains woody and slightly aromatic, with moderate projection that stays close to the skin after the first hour. Best for casual daytime wear in cool or fall weather, it offers four to six hours of longevity with a linear evolution.
