Dry woods meeting an almond-praline heart, tempered by sharp citrus spice
The opening is bracingly aromatic, pairing bergamot against a dusting of cinnamon and cardamom. As the elemi resin warms, the scent shifts from crisp air to a dense, gourmand center defined by praline, almond, and sugar. It does not lean into confectionary cloyingness, however; a foundation of dry wood, musk, and ambroxan keeps the profile grounded and structured. The projection settles into a steady, warm trail that persists for hours, anchored by the lingering sweetness of tonka and vanilla. This is a study in friction—the cool start meeting a slow-burning, edible core.
