Lustre

Cardamom provides a sharp, metallic entry that quickly softens into the velvet texture of orris root. The structure revolves around a core of dry cedar, sandalwood, and cypriol, creating a skeletal woody profile that feels austere until the resins intervene. Myrrh, styrax, and labdanum pull the composition toward a darker, incense-like sweetness, while tonka bean and vanilla round out the edges. It sits close to the skin as a powdery, grounded woody scent that evolves slowly over many hours, shifting from spice to a dense, balsamic finish.
