이집션 샌달우드

The cardamom hits immediately, sharp and warm, but it’s the cedar and incense that keep pulling me back for another sniff. Wore it on a cool evening and it lasted well past dinner without turning cloying.

The dry-down is where this one shines — that incense and sandalwood combo lingers for hours without turning powdery or sharp. The cardamom gives it just enough warmth up top to feel like a desert evening, not a church. I've already gotten two compliments wearing it to work.

I wasn’t sure about the incense note, but it’s surprisingly smooth next to the cardamom. The sandalwood comes through warm and creamy on my skin for hours without turning sharp.
