By the editors · 2 min readCardamom opens with a cool, peppery snap that immediately tilts the composition toward fresh-spicy territory rather than bakery warmth. Sage and lavender arrive together, the sage adding a silvery-green camphor edge that keeps the lavender from turning powdery, while cedar in the base provides a dry, pencil-shaving backbone that flanks the herbs without adding sweetness. The listed white flor florals—gardenia, jasmine, lily—stay recessive, reading more as a diffuse clean lift than as distinct blossoms, letting the aromatic heart dominate through the mid-stage. Labdanum surfaces late, lending a faint leathery resin that melds with skin-close musk and a whisper of sandalwood to create a muted ambery glow rather than a full oriental finish. Projection hovers at conversational distance for four hours then collapses to a cedar-musk skin veil ideal for office days or post-gym errands in spring through early fall.
