Malaki opens crisp and peppery. Lemon and bergamot give a sharp, bright lift, with pink pepper sparkling on top.

The heart is green and aromatic. Angelica and galbanum bring a slightly bitter, rooty freshness, cardamom and clove add warmth, and cedar gives a clean, pencil-shaving dryness.

Sandalwood, musk and oud make a smooth, quietly smoky base. The oud is restrained, so the overall effect is polished woods rather than a heavy oud.

Refined and versatile: as comfortable at the office as at dinner, and wearable most of the year.
