Miel Sauvage
Honey and bergamot open together — the honey is immediate and animalic rather than sugary, lifted just enough by bergamot citrus to avoid heaviness.

By the editors · 2 min readHoney and bergamot open together — the honey is immediate and animalic rather than sugary, lifted just enough by bergamot citrus to avoid heaviness. Jasmine adds a white floral presence in the heart, sitting under rather than above the honey, while oud introduces a dry, resinous smokiness.
Incense and frankincense deepen the base considerably, joined by tonka and patchouli, building a dense balsamic structure. The overall effect is rich, smoky, and slightly medicinal — sweet without being confectionery. This rewards cold weather wear; in heat it risks becoming oppressive. Longevity should be considerable given the resinous backbone. Best suited to evening or intimate occasions.
