cinnamon · cardamom · ginger

Presence opens on warm cinnamon, lifted by cardamom and ginger before bergamot brings a fresh edge. A heart of apple and sage, then heliotrope, softens the whole. The base of tonka bean, sandalwood and white musk lingers on the skin. Wear it in spring or autumn, when the air starts to cool.
