By the editors · 2 min readAn emphatic citrus opening — lemon, grapefruit, and bergamot crowding the same first impression. The grapefruit gives it the sharpest signal, brighter and sourer than a typical citrus opener.
The heart turns warm and dry: ginger as the lead, star anise lending a licorice-edged sweetness, nutmeg deepening the spice without making it gourmand. The transition from citrus into spice is the composition's most identifiable arc.
Sandalwood and amber finish soft and warm in the base, with vetiver supplying a slim earthen floor underneath. A polished, daytime-leaning oriental rather than the heavier evening register the parent line is known for; clean spice, modest projection.
