Bangkok

Its character comes from the friction between bright citrus and dark, warming spice. Bergamot keeps the opening clear, while cardamom, caraway, and clove create a textured, aromatic heat. Black pepper deepens the center with a darker, more focused pulse. Cedarwood gives the composition structure, grounding the spices with dry wood, while lavender introduces a softer herbal character. As the fragrance wears, the initial brightness gives way to warmer aromatic notes and a more settled woody impression.

The evolution

The opening starts with bergamot, lifted by cardamom, caraway, and clove. It is clean, aromatic, and lightly sunlit before black pepper introduces a darker pulse through the center. Cedarwood gives that warmth some structure, while lavender keeps it from becoming purely sharp. As the fragrance settles, the citrus opening softens into layered spice, with cardamom and clove retaining their aromatic warmth. Cedarwood gradually becomes more present, creating a dry, grounded base beneath the brighter notes. Tonka bean brings a gentle sweetness close to the skin, while vetiver leaves an earthy finish beneath the spice. The composition settles into a soft, woody close with a subtle contrast between spice, lavender, and wood.
