By the editors · 2 min readAn intense, smoky incense and cumin opening creates a challenging, almost animalic first impression that is both spicy and arid. Almond and cardamom provide a nutty, aromatic counterpoint to the smoky top, adding a layer of dry, savory complexity that tempers the initial intensity. Labdanum forms the heart, its resinous, leathery character bridging the spicy top to a deeply animalic base where civet and castoreum contribute a musky, urinous warmth. Sandalwood, cedar, and vanilla eventually soften the dry-down, offering a creamy, woody sweetness that provides relief from the challenging animalic and balsamic core. This is a potent, evolving scent with significant longevity and sillage, suited for cold-weather evenings and confident wear.
