By the editors · 2 min readLemon and cardamom open with a tart, slightly resinous brightness — the cardamom adding a spiced softness that keeps the citrus from going sharp. The opening points immediately toward the rose to follow.
Bulgarian rose dominates the heart unaccompanied. The rose reads jammy and deep rather than fresh-cut, with a slight darkness that comes from the materials supporting it from below.
Incense, rum, patchouli, and musk make the base — these give the composition its darkness. The incense adds dry smoky depth, the rum a boozy resin, patchouli grounds everything with earth. The drydown is a dusky rose draped over smoke and resin, projecting strongly and lasting long.
