By the editors · 2 min readBergamot lends a bright citrus sparkle that quickly recedes as jasmine and ylang-ylang emerge with a rich floral intensity. Labdanum and rose contribute a resinous and slightly honeyed depth that grounds the floral heart with warmth. The base introduces oakmoss and guaiac wood for a dry, earthy character complemented by cumin's soft spice and benzoin's sweet resin. Patchouli and musk add an earthy-musky foundation that ensures the dry-down feels both complex and enduring. This scent evolves significantly from fresh top notes to a warm, ambery floral with notable projection and longevity. Ideal for fall evenings or formal occasions, it projects strongly for the first few hours before settling close to the skin.
