Scent Profile — What You'll Experience
Heart Notes
Cashmere Wood · Cashmeran
Base Notes
Bourbon Vanilla and Vetiver · Vanilla · Vetiver
The first impression is pure spiced warmth. Cardamom opens with a crisp, slightly sweet kick—a natural invitation that feels both refined and approachable. The top notes shimmer with an inviting brightness, setting the stage for what follows.
What follows is an embrace of creamy softness. Cashmeran and Cashmere Wood emerge at the heart, wrapping your skin in a luxurious, skin-comforting veil. These woods create a subtle luminosity that bridges the gap between fresh spice and deep indulgence, making this scent truly versatile for any moment.
The base settles into a warm skin-level presence through Bourbon Vanilla and Vetiver. These notes create a noticeable yet intimate sillage—never overwhelming, always present. Expect 6–8 hours of wear in mild to warm climates, with a fragrance that feels like a second skin rather than a statement.
