How it develops
It opens green and aromatic — cardamom's dry spice snapping against fig's milky, leafy sweetness, with black tea lending a tannic edge that keeps the fruit from turning syrupy. Within the first hour iris moves in and powders everything down, while bourbon vetiver and cistus pull the composition toward earth and resin. The long final act belongs to sandalwood: creamy, warm, sweetened by tonka and vanilla, with patchouli and cedar holding the base steady.
