By the editors · 2 min readGinger and star anise open with a dry, slightly medicinal spice — clove adding warmth beneath bergamot's brief citrus lift. The opening has bite and direction.
Tuberose emerges in the heart, creamy and insistent, while lavender and narcissus soften and slightly powder the floral accord. The spice remains present, threading through the flowers rather than receding.
Tonka bean, benzoin, and vanilla build a sweet resinous base, with frankincense and incense lending smoke depth. Oakmoss and leather push the base toward something darker and more animalic. The result layers sweet florals over a dense, spiced resin — complex, warm, and heavily weighted toward the base. Best in cool weather.
