By the editors · 2 min readCinnamon and cardamom open with dry, bright spice — cardamom lending its cool, slightly mentholated edge against cinnamon's warmer bite. There is immediate clarity and directness here, no fruit or sweetness softening the spice.
Frankincense enters as the heart develops, adding resinous, slightly ashy smoke that shifts the composition into sacred-space territory. Sandalwood provides a creamy, smooth wood presence that keeps the frankincense from going too austere.
Musk in the base is the sole anchor, holding everything together without adding further complexity. The result is a spare, spice-and-incense structure — cinnamon over frankincense over sandalwood — with genuine restraint and a meditative, slow-burning character throughout.
