Description
The story behind this fragrance
Cardamom and pepper ignite with sharp lemon brightness, a spiced opening that crackles against warm cinnamon. The heat softens as jasmine sambac and rose bloom into the middle—heady, creamy florals that anchor the warmth. Runaway settles into something earthier: vetiver's dry green grip, guaiac wood's resinous amber undertone, and pine needles that bring cool, almost medicinal clarity. Vanilla and elemi arrive last, sweet and slightly balsamic, tempering the wood's austere edges until only warm vetiver and faint vanilla linger at the wrists.
