By the editors · 2 min readViolet leaf opens cool and metallic, slicing through frankincense smoke to create a crisp, incense-green flash. Black pepper storms the heart, its dry heat igniting clove while basil keeps the accord leafy rather than kitchen-spice; iris slips underneath, adding a clean, paper-dust softness that blunts the spices’ edges. Leather emerges early from the base, absorbing the pepper’s crackle into a matte, black-hide skin that cedar keeps taut and vertical. Amber arrives late, warming the leather’s seams with a low, resinous glow, never sweet, just ember-lit. Projection stays polite, a tailored aura for close encounters; cool evenings and office layers reward it most.
