Kahwa

Bay leaf snaps open crisp and green, eucalyptus cutting through with cool clarity before cardamom's warmth blooms—ginger and clove adding bite, saffron threading gold beneath. The heart softens into rose and jasmine sambac's creamy florality, coffee grounds grounding the sweetness with earthy depth, neroli brightening at the edges. Oakmoss and amber anchor what follows, patchouli's earth darkening into cedarwood and Cambodian oud that settles thick, resinous, almost leathery against skin—the spice and florals now just memory beneath the wood's dry, smoky finish.
