Clove and nutmeg dominate the heart with very little floral or fruit padding. The cinnamon implication runs strong even without it being explicitly listed, the spices stacking into something warm-aromatic and almost mulled. A faint herbal-lavender breath threads through.
With only nutmeg in the base, the drydown is short on architecture and long on character: a dry warm spice persistence rather than a soft amber landing. Overall the character is a minimalist citrus-and-clove study, cool-weather-friendly but wearable into mild months, daytime, with a quiet idiosyncrasy more suited to spice lovers than crowd-pleasers.
