Cardinal opens sweet rosey along with a blast of citrus, also it has this kind of grass /green and fresh pepper smell, this combination, to me, it's a spicy fresh quirky classy chic scent.

It reminded me of some of my childhood days where me and my dad used to grind red peppers in the garage, it has that fresh grinded pepper smell to it and certainly gives it a quirky fun kind of an edge vibe, just like the bird.
Mix this peppery edge with the sweet rose and oakmoss. These are the major notes I perceived so far.

Probably the last work of the late Mr. Rosendo Mateu (you will be missed )
I like this one a lot, its not ground breaking but certainly one of a kind and surprisingly pleasant.
Im really happy to have it in my collection, big zoologist fan since I like unique scents and strong personalities.

I see it fitting very well in winter/spring. Reminds me of christmas and the color red.
