By the editors · 2 min readGinger and cardamom offer a warm-spicy opening alongside bright bergamot, quickly deepening into a heart of orris, jasmine, and tobacco. Rose adds a floral nuance that blends seamlessly into a rich base of labdanum, amber, and sandalwood. Patchouli and vetiver provide earthy depth, while ambergris lends a subtle animalic warmth to the dry-down. The scent evolves significantly over time, from spicy-aromatic to resinous-woody. Projection is strong initially, settling to a moderate sillage that persists for over twelve hours. This complex composition suits fall and winter evenings, ideal for formal or special occasions. Its warm amber core performs best in cool to cold weather.
