Ovation

Basil and grapefruit open with a sharp, herbaceous bite, coriander adding a warm spice that softens the citrus into something less bright than herbal-green. The heart deepens with cardamom and ginger, turning the composition toward peppery heat and a subtle sweetness—the ginger lending a dry, almost crystalline warmth. Amber and tobacco emerge beneath, grounding the spice in a dusky, slightly leathery amber glow while cedar threads through the base, turning resinous and woody as the heat fades to dry wood and a trace of warm amber on skin.
