By the editors · 2 min readSaffron and pink pepper open with a warm, spicy-aromatic sharpness that is lightly brightened by bergamot's citrus touch. Incense and olibanum form a smoky, resinous heart that feels dry and slightly church-like in its meditative quality. Vanilla softens the composition's austerity, adding a sweet, creamy counterpoint to the woody and earthy base notes. Patchouli contributes an earthy, slightly chocolatey depth that blends with musk's clean skin-scent character in the dry-down. The scent projects strongly for the first two hours before contracting to a moderate, intimate radius that lasts six to eight hours. Best worn in cool weather for formal or contemplative occasions, it balances smoke and sweetness.
