The heart folds in nutmeg’s dry warmth, letting rose soften the edges without turning sweet; the spice keeps the flowers crisp, not plush. Oakmoss spreads a cool forest floor under guaiac and vetiver, while patchouli adds quiet earth, so the dry-down stays matte and shadowed rather than woody-creamy.
