By the editors · 2 min readStar anise, grapefruit and bergamot open with an unusual licorice-citrus combination, the anise lending a sweet-spice edge that the grapefruit cuts with its bitter side. The opening is more distinctive than the name suggests.
Tuberose, ylang-ylang and osmanthus form the heart. The combination is creamy and slightly apricot-leathery from the osmanthus, with tuberose and ylang-ylang fattening the floral. The middle reads warm-floral rather than oud-driven despite the name.
White musk, sandalwood, ambergris, vetiver, vanilla, patchouli and styrax close the composition. The base is plush and slightly powdered, with no listed oud despite the title. Overall the arc is a soft floral-amber with a tropical creaminess and a clean, slightly resinous drydown.
