The One Intense

Mostly warm baking spice, in the cinnamon and clove family. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on cardamom, neroli and cypress, moves through cashmeran, benzoin and neroli, and settles on leather, neroli and patchouli.

• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift
• neroli: the bright, just-squeezed side of orange blossom: green, clean and faintly bitter

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
