Notes, explained

Listed notes

Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
Clove Hot, dry and dental. Powerful — a little goes a long way.
Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Immortelle Maple syrup, curry and hay. Genuinely strange and very distinctive.
Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Ambroxan Clean, mineral, skin-like warmth. The engine behind most modern 'beast mode' scents.
Cashmeran Musky, woody and slightly spicy. Velvety and very persistent.
Haitian Vetiver Cleaner, smokier vetiver with a grapefruit lift. Less earthy than Javan.
Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
