By the editors · 2 min readPink pepper and nutmeg crackle over bergamot, creating a dry, peppery citrus opening that feels like cedar shavings warmed by sun. The heart slides iris between those wood splinters, its cool, carrot-root earthiness softening the cedar's pencil-sharp lines while keeping the texture dusty rather than creamy. Vetiver stretches the dryness into the base, its grassy smoke picking up the suede's faint hide note so the skin ends up smelling like weathered leather tools left on a workbench sprinkled with iris powder. Projection stays close, a skin-whisper of woods and suede that lasts office-day respectable hours. Cool autumn days sharpen its mineral edges; wear it to meetings where quiet competence matters more than loud statements.
