About

Opens with an herbal, subtly spicy kick from cardamom and violet leaf, quickly ushering in an earthy, powdery iris heart. Cedar adds a woody backbone, warmed by the smooth, ambroxan glow. The dry down is a comforting embrace of creamy sandalwood, rich amber, and a clean, enveloping musk, with a persistent hint of soapiness that adds a unique twist.
