Fragrance structure
How it develops
Cardamom opens it almost alone, dry and green-spiced, with bergamot supplying just enough lift to keep the first minutes from turning heavy. Lavender rises underneath within the quarter hour and rounds the spice into something softer and faintly powdery. Virginia cedar arrives to give the middle its structure, and the long finish belongs to vetiver and caraway — dry, warm, faintly salty, and pressed close against the skin rather than lifting away from it.
