By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens like the best Earl Grey — clean, faintly bitter, almost tannic. The ginger that follows is the dried, preserved kind, not fresh root: it belongs on a biscuit tin more than a cutting board. Clary sage arrives in the heart with a quietly herbaceous hum, and beeswax thickens everything, warm and faintly waxy. By the drydown the Cashmeran has made itself comfortable — a woody musk that reads as expensive wool — and what lingers on skin has the faint yeasty sweetness of sherry-soaked fruit cake. The projection stays close throughout. This is a fragrance that earns attention by withholding it.
