By the editors · 2 min readSaffron and cardamom crackle open, releasing a dry, papery spice that immediately stains the air deep orange. Neroli the heart not with petals but with the honeyed, green-bitter steam of orange-blossom water, bridging the hot spices to a resinous base. Myrrh, cypriol and labdanum smoulder slowly, their incense plume picking up smoky facets from the earlier saffron while benzoin pours a dark, treacly sweetness through cedar and patchouli. Musk keeps the structure mobile, preventing the resins from hardening so the scent stays pliable on skin for hours. Projection radiates a half-arm’s length, ideal for cool autumn nights or a formal dinner where you want presence without announcement. The dry-down is a leather-soft amber glow rather than a rose soliflore, proving the list is more spice oriental than floral.
