By the editors · 2 min readCinnamon opens with a warm, slightly sweet heat that immediately fuses with cardamom’s green-citrus edge, creating a spiced top that feels more resinous than bakery. Myrrh and labdanum arrive together, thickening the heart into a molten amber accord where the spices sink and soften rather than burn. Guaiac wood brings a dry, pencil-shaving smoke that keeps the vanillic base from turning custardy, while olibanum adds a cool, lemon-tinged incense that lifts the composition out of pure gourmand territory. Over hours the cinnamon recedes but never vanishes, leaving a lacquered wood impression streaked with soft vanilla and quiet frankincense. Projection stays within arm’s length for six to eight hours, making it an effortless cool-weather choice for offices or low-key evening plans.
