By the editors · 2 min readStar anise arrives first, cool and medicinal against bright bergamot, a pairing that feels both herbal and faintly liqueur-like. The jasmine that follows isn't soliflore clean but shadowed, spiced with cinnamon and cardamom until it reads darker, almost resinous. This is night-blooming jasmine interpreted through an apothecary lens rather than a garden.
As it settles, sandalwood and amber soften the edges without sweetening them. The spices remain present, dry rather than gourmand, while patchouli adds a woody darkness that keeps the composition grounded. The overall effect is warm but restrained, more contemplative than seductive.
This wears best in cooler weather on those who prefer their florals complicated. It occupies an unusual space between floral and oriental, spiced enough to feel deliberate but never overwhelmingly exotic. A jasmine for evenings when you want depth without volume.
