Fragrance structure
How it develops
It opens crisp and faintly prickly — lemon and elemi sharpened by black pepper, bright but dry rather than juicy. Cardamom bridges in almost immediately, warming the citrus without sweetening it, while iris slides underneath to lend a cool powdery smoothness that files down every edge. From there it settles steadily into musk, clean and skin-close with a faint animalic hum, ambrox adding a mineral glow and cypriol brushing a thread of dry earth beneath everything.
