By the editors · 2 min readClove and nutmeg lead the opening, with bergamot cutting a citrus stripe across the top. The effect is dry and pantry-warm, not sweet — a kitchen-spice tone that signals the woodiness underneath rather than competing with it.
Cedar emerges quickly and dominates the heart, joined by traces of jasmine that round the edges. Patchouli starts threading in early, lending a dusty, slightly resinous depth that ties the spices to the wood.
The drydown is pure pencil-shaving cedar over amberwood and clean white musk. Patchouli stays low and earthy rather than chocolatey. Sillage is moderate and the structure is linear — once the spices fade, the cedar-musk accord holds steady for hours.
