Honey dominates the heart, thick and waxy, drawing sweetness from jasmine while clove pricks the edges with warm spice.

By the editors · 2 min readHoney dominates the heart, thick and waxy, drawing sweetness from jasmine while clove pricks the edges with warm spice. Rose and orris arrive together, the rose adding plush petals, the orris chalking them with cool violet dust that keeps the honey from cloying. Leather and civet stride in early, the leather tanned and supple, the civet adding a low growl that darkens the honey into something almost tobacco-like. Patchouli and oakmoss knit a damp forest floor under the fur, while sandalwood smokes quietly in the base. Eight hours later the skin smells like warm beeswax on old riding gloves, musk barely lifting it off the pulse. Cool fall nights, cashmere coat pockets, projection polite but persistent.
