By the editors · 2 min readMoth opens with a dense, almost edible cluster of cinnamon, saffron, and cumin over a bright lemon lift. The spice combination is immediate and forward, with black pepper and clove adding dry sharpness. It smells warm and slightly animalic from the first spray.
The heart shifts toward heliotrope and iris, softening the spice into something powdery and floral. Rose and mimosa keep it from becoming too dark, while jasmine adds a faintly indolic thread.
The base grounds everything in oud, smoke, and honey with patchouli holding it together. Vetiver keeps the sweetness from going soft. This is a dense, resinous composition that sits close to the body but radiates sustained warmth.
