The top holds pineapple, cardamom, cinnamon and citrus notes, so the fruitiness arrives together with spice. In the heart, green apple, cedar and bamboo come forward, and pineapple carries on, turning the opening sweetness into something greener and lighter. The base of black amber, precious woods and patchouli adds a resinous, earthy and smoky depth. A floral accent stays in the background and softens the woody structure.
