By the editors · 2 min readCinnamon arrives immediately — warm, direct, and slightly sharp — setting the tone before rose steps in at the heart. The rose reads as full-bodied rather than delicate, carrying a rich, slightly spiced character that integrates with the cinnamon rather than competing with it.
Tonka bean and patchouli ground the base: the tonka brings a soft coumarin-like sweetness and mild nuttiness, while patchouli adds depth and a touch of earthiness without dominating. The overall impression is a compact, skin-close oriental — warm, a little sweet, woody underneath. It wears closer to an attar's concentrated intimacy than a broadly projecting fragrance.
