Poudre Impériale

Pink pepper and cardamom crack open with bright bergamot and a whisper of black pepper, the elemi adding a clean, resinous spine. The heart unfolds into creamy heliotrope and jasmine, softened by lily-of-the-valley's green whisper, while incense rises like smoke through the blooms. Warmth deepens as tonka bean's caramel sweetness mingles with vanilla and musk, cedar threading through the base with dry, woody restraint, until benzoin and vanilla settle into a soft, powdered amber on skin.
