The story

Sandcastles, and what they are built on.

Dates open sugary and dense, the only note up top. Cinnamon, cardamom and black pepper spice the middle without adding heat. Cedar, nagarmotha and vetiver dry it out while vanilla keeps the sweetness. Simple in construction, and warmer than the desert image suggests.

How it wears

Top notes greet you, the heart settles in over the first hour, and the base is what stays on skin at the end of the evening.
