By the editors · 2 min readA bright spiced opening softens into a quiet smoke-and-wood center. Ginger and bergamot snap open with a peppery prickle, then incense settles low — not a temple plume, but the kind of resinous warmth that hangs in dry timber. Neroli and violet add a thin floral seam, almost translucent.
The drydown is the point: sandalwood and cedar stand close to the skin, with patchouli giving the wood a darker, earthen edge. There's no sweetness, no powder, just lacquered grain. It wears like a quiet cool-weather uniform — composed, slightly austere, comfortable in dry air. Wood with citrus, not citrus with wood.
