By the editors · 2 min readBasil, cardamom, and bergamot open green and aromatic, with the basil leading — peppery, leafy, faintly anise-like. Cardamom adds cool spice; bergamot lends a quick citric lift.
The pyramid lacks a heart, so the development jumps from herbal top to woody base with little bridge. The transition is abrupt — leaves giving way to bark.
Sandalwood, ambergris, vetiver, and cedar build a dry, slightly salty woody base. Ambergris adds animalic-skin warmth, vetiver brings earthy roots, cedar dries the picture out. Overall: a herbal-woody composition with a salty-funky undercurrent — masculine-leaning, transparent on top, rougher at the base.
