By the editors · 2 min readLabdanum and nutmeg create an opening that is immediately resinous and warmly spicy, suggesting aged wood and sacred incense. A complex heart of oud, frankincense, and guaiac wood deepens the smoky, balsamic character, while rose adds a subtle floral lift that prevents the composition from becoming too austere. Sandalwood and tonka bean provide a creamy, vanillic underpinning that softens the darker woody and resinous elements. The dry-down settles into a rich amber and olibanum base that feels both ancient and comforting, with a lingering sweet woodiness. This is a scent of significant evolution, moving from spicy-resinous to a soft, ambery wood over several hours. Moderate sillage and strong longevity make it suitable for cool weather evenings and formal events.
