By the editors · 2 min readGalbanum slices through the top with a bitter-green edge that sharpens the bergamot and grapefruit, creating a resinous citrus frame rather than a juicy one. Tuberose dominates the heart, its creamy white-petal density amplified by jasmine and narcissus while raspberry adds a faint tart sweetness that keeps the bouquet from turning syrupy. The incense triad—frankincense, myrrh, olibanum—arrives early in the dry-down, merging with sandalwood to produce a smoky, balsamic wood accord that the animalics (civet, castoreum) stain with a leathery growl. Over hours the musks soften the smoke, leaving a dusty, resin-laced skin scent that still carries a trace of tuberose’s waxen glow. Projection stays within arm’s reach; the composition feels built for cool fall evenings or layered winter work days where incense projection won’t overwhelm.
