By the editors · 2 min readSaffron and cardamom open dry and papery, slicing through ylang-ylang’s creamy banana sweetness to create a hot-spiced floral haze. Tuberose surges next, its buttery white petals edged with indolic smoke, riding a cedar plank that keeps the heart airy rather than syrupy. Ambergris washes in as a salt-skin tide, letting vetiver’s rooty bitterness and benzoin’s soft vanilla tar stretch the white flowers into dusk while a quiet musk anchors everything to the wearer. Projection stays arm-length for six hours, then collapses into a resinous skin whisper ideal for cool fall evenings or a dark date.
