Cárda: An Oriental Floral Debut from Spiteful August
Spiteful August has announced Cárda, a new oriental floral fragrance created for women and men. The scent is the work of perfumer Scott Wolf and launches in 2026.
The composition plays on contrasts: citrus and pear deliver a bright, fruity opening, while cardamom adds a warm spice. Beneath it all, a powdery, vanillic base lends softness and lasting comfort.
At the top, cardamom, citrus and pear set a lively tone. The pear brings a gentle fruitiness, the citrus adds transparency, and the cardamom contributes just enough aromatic heat to keep the opening interesting. It feels crisp and well proportioned.
The heart shifts towards warmer material: woody notes, Indian jasmine and almond. Together they create a creamy, powdery bloom that feels refined and quietly sensual. The jasmine is never too bold, sitting instead at the centre of a smooth, rounded heart.
The base rests on vanilla pod, with velvet, amber, musk and further woody notes. This is where Cárda turns cosy and enveloping. The amber and vanilla give the final stage a soft golden glow, while the musk and velvet add a subtle skin-like texture.
The fragrance draws on a broad set of accords, including musky, powdery, woody, warm spicy, vanillic, citrus, amber, sweet, fruity and fresh. These layers give Cárda an evolving character that feels modern without losing the warmth expected of an oriental floral.
Cárda is suited to those who appreciate unisex oriental florals with a gentle, sweet warmth. It will work particularly well for wearers who prefer fresh openings but want a soft, vanillic and amber drydown, whether for day-to-day wear or colder evenings.
Cárda marks a confident first entry into the oriental floral category for Spiteful August. With its balanced construction and accessible warmth, it is a fragrance well worth sampling once it lands in 2026.
