By the editors · 2 min readCardamom and bergamot open with a clean, brisk edge that signals something dry and considered rather than sweet. The spice block in the heart — sage, black pepper, saffron, nutmeg — builds quickly, layering green herbaceous tones against warm, dusty spice. It reads culinary but restrained, as though these ingredients are measured rather than poured.
The base pulls everything into darker territory. Leather grounds the saffron warmth, vetiver adds a smoky, rooty dryness, and cedar keeps the structure linear and clean. The overall character is a dry, spiced leather: cool-weather skin scent with moderate projection and little sweetness to distract from the spice work.
