By the editors · 2 min readCardamom dominates the opening with its aromatic, slightly citrusy warmth, immediately establishing a spicy and modern character. Lavender and black pepper in the heart add a fresh aromatic edge and peppery sharpness, while Virginia cedar provides a dry woody backbone. The base shifts toward earthiness with vetiver and patchouli, complemented by the sweet warmth of tonka bean, resulting in a dry-down that is woody, spicy, and subtly sweet. Sillage is moderate but persistent, evolving noticeably over hours, ideal for casual or evening wear in cooler weather.
