By the editors · 2 min readSage opens Kiani with a cool, bitter-green snap that feels like crushed leaves still holding morning dew. The heart quickly layers in ginger's bright, peppery heat against lavender's clean, slightly metallic floral, while cumin adds a fleeting sweaty-skin edge that keeps the blend from turning polite. Sandalwood and guaiac wood arrive early, steering the scent into a dry, blond-wood corridor where vetiver's rooty smoke and cedar's pencil-sharp lift prevent the base from going creamy. Musk sheathes the woods in a sheer, skin-hugging film, so the overall impression stays airy rather than dense, more woodland trail than cabin hearth. Projection sits at arm's length for six hours, making it office-safe yet quietly distinctive through the dry-down.
