By the editors · 2 min readMyrrh and saffron create an opulent opening, their resinous and spicy warmth contrasted by a sharp lime note that adds a crisp counterpoint. Plum and narcissus emerge in the heart, lending a fruity-floral richness that feels both decadent and slightly powdery from the violet accord. Coffee provides a dark, roasted bitterness that deepens the composition without venturing into gourmand territory, anchoring the middle phase. Vanilla and honey form a sweet, unctuous base that melds with tobacco's dry hay-like character, creating a complex finish that is both sweet and earthy. Projection is substantial initially, receding to a moderate aura that lasts well into the evening with a linear dry-down. Best for cooler weather and evening events, this scent carries a bold presence suited to confident wear.
