Uncut Gem
Old wood warmed by the sun, then balsam fir. Frédéric Malle Uncut Gem has a sense of occasion.

How it moves
It arrives on cardamom and balsam fir — bright, immediate, gone before you have decided about it. By the half hour it has become incense, cypriol and opoponax. What is left hours later is cedar and myrrh, and that is the part people follow you for.
