By the editors · 2 min readLavender and citrus open dry and aromatic, the bergamot keeping the lavender from veering soapy. The heart opens wide — ginger and a thicket of florals (lily, peony, freesia, violet, rose) with vanilla threaded through, giving the bouquet a soft sugared edge.
The base does the work: incense and olibanum smolder under amber and ambergris, with vetiver pulling the whole thing toward something resinous and slightly smoky. Musk closes it. The arc shifts from bright and floral to dim and resinous, and stays there. A composition that reads warmer than its opening suggests, denser than its name implies.
