Wormwood's bitter green snap meets bright mandarin and cardamom's warmth in the opening—a spiced citrus that feels almost herbal, almost edible. The heart deepens with jasmine and rose softened by clove's anise whisper and incense smoke, while woody notes build a shadowed frame. Styrax and labdanum bring honeyed resin, leather edges in with earthy castoreum, and oak moss grounds everything in damp, mossy shadow. Musk settles beneath, adding skin-like warmth as the incense fades to leather and amber-tinged woods.
