By the editors · 2 min readCinnamon hits first, dry and woody rather than candy-sweet, with raspberry and rose adding a fruity-floral edge that softens the spice. Clove sharpens the opening, pushing the composition straight into oriental territory.
The heart turns resinous: frankincense and patchouli build smoke and earth around the sandalwood, while the spice from the top continues to bloom rather than fade. There is little freshness left by this point — the structure goes vertical into incense and balsam.
The base is dense — oud, benzoin, amber and musk lock the composition into a smoky, balsamic close where the amber sweetness is balanced by leather-adjacent oud. Overall character is a dark spicy-resinous oriental, cool-weather, evening, and built to project for hours.
