By the editors · 2 min readTar and cardamom create an opening that is both smoky and warmly spicy, with a resinous edge from the tar note. Bergamot provides a faint citrus lift that quickly recedes behind the dominant heart accord. Violet and coffee form an unusual pairing, with powdery floral tones meeting a dark, earthy bitterness that adds depth. Incense and oud emerge in the base, contributing a dry smoky character that blends with vetiver's green earthiness. Patchouli and vanilla lend a sweet resinous undertone that softens the composition's darker edges without becoming gourmand. The scent evolves significantly, moving from smoky-spicy to a dry woody-resinous dry-down over several hours. Projection is strong initially but becomes more intimate after two hours, with longevity extending beyond eight hours. Ideal for fall and winter evenings, especially in cool or cold weather, suited for formal or special occasions.
