By the editors · 2 min readOrange and bergamot create a bright citrus opening that quickly yields to cinnamon's warm spicy character. Jasmine and ylang-ylang provide a rich floral heart with tropical and indolic qualities that blend with rose's classic floralcy. The base reveals patchouli's earthy depth, benzoin's vanillic sweetness, and frankincense's resinous smokiness over animalic civet and ambergris. This complex oriental evolves through multiple stages with significant projection that suits formal evening occasions in cooler seasons.
