By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is herbal and lightly sweet — rosemary and heliotrope over lavender, with bergamot and lemon giving a clean, slightly bright edge. Cardamom arrives quickly and pulls the composition in a spicier direction without overwhelming the fresher elements above it.
In the dry-down, sandalwood and patchouli deepen the base, while amber and vanilla round out the rougher spice. Saffron threads through the mid-stage, adding a faint smokiness. The musk is present but restrained, keeping the silage moderate.
Overall this reads as a warm aromatic fragrance with clear Eastern spice leanings, balanced by enough herb and citrus brightness to prevent it from feeling heavy in temperate weather.
