stoic spice
A cold spice, a “concrete cardamom,” if you will. It’s clean, stoic, and far more masculine than all the florals would lead you to believe. The opening is sharp, herbal, almost medicinal. The dry down is solemn and leathery, and I get something faintly coppery, like freshly-minted coins. It's so handsome. I don’t know what Marrakech this is imagining. Perhaps one viewed through the tinted glass of a leather-upholstered car? However, it makes it a great option if you're looking for a clear, direct spice without the sugar and chaos of other cardamoms. I've had it for six years and never tired.
Word to the wise: I got the traveller because I loved it so much but foolishly didn’t look up the price before getting to the register because “How much can a rollerball of perfume cost, Michael? $110 dollars?”
(It costs $110).
Mental Snapshot: You’re gazing over a Harkonnen-engineered Arrakeen (in this AU they are not problematic, don’t worry). The city is a tessellation of sun-bleached stone and sharp shadow, studded with step-pyramids of seamless jet marble. The loft is shady, spartan, and hewn from the finest imports. “Great design choice,” You tell Feyd Rautha, joining him in your obsidian soaking tub. “It looks just like this very expensive handwash store on my home planet.”
tl;dr: brutalist souk
