By the editors · 2 min readCumin and bergamot open with a distinctive aromatic and slightly animalic spice that is both intriguing and sharp, while cedar adds a dry woody backdrop. Sage introduces a green, herbal freshness that cuts through the spice, providing a clean and aromatic heart that feels both classic and modern. Iris emerges with its characteristic powdery, rooty texture, softening the composition and adding a cosmetic elegance to the mid-stage. Amber and musk create a warm, skin-like base that blends with the persistent cedar, resulting in a dry, powdery, and softly woody dry-down. The scent evolves from spicy and herbal to powdery and warm, with moderate sillage that feels professional and refined. Its versatile character makes it suitable for daytime wear in spring or fall, ideal for work or casual occasions where a subtle yet complex scent is desired.
