By the editors · 2 min readLavender and bergamot create an aromatic citrus opening that feels both fresh and herbal. Ambergris and benzoin bring a warm balsamic heart with animalic undertones and resinous sweetness. Leather emerges as a dominant accord, dry and supple against the smoky frankincense and olibanum base. Cedar provides woody support that keeps the composition grounded and slightly austere. The scent evolves from bright to deeply resinous over two hours, settling close to the skin. Projection remains intimate throughout, lasting well into the cooler evening hours with a contemplative character.
