By the editors · 2 min readCardamom opens with a warm and aromatic spice that immediately establishes a soft-spicy character. Sandalwood and vanilla emerge quickly, creating a creamy and resinous heart that smooths the spice. Guaiac wood and styrax add a smoky, balsamic depth that intertwines with the animalic civet and castoreum. Myrrh contributes a dark, resinous texture that enhances the leathery and ambery dry-down. The composition evolves from spicy-aromatic to a complex animalic-woody base over several hours. Projection is moderate with good longevity, best suited for cool weather evenings or formal occasions.
