Declination in Green

Green cardamom bomb, in the best way. It blasts with it in the opening spray and surprisingly stays around for its lifetime. Praline and vanilla surface pretty quickly but intensify in the drydown, adding that almost-lactonic sweet creaminess to it. While it is very linear as a green cardamom custard, the other standard notes of musk, ambergris, amber, bergamot, woods, and orange blossom are still there, but hard to detect as isolated notes without hunting for them; they read as structural "perfumer's additives" to round it out into something wearable as opposed to edible. It leans gourmand, but in a way that's reminiscent of a dessert being made, not wearing the dessert itself. It's simple, addictive, and unique. If you love cardamom you'll love this, if you don't you won't.
