By the editors · 2 min readGardenia and ylang-ylang open with a creamy white floral richness, immediately deepened by sandalwood's smooth woodiness. Grapefruit and bergamot add a brief citrus lift that quickly recedes into the floral heart. Jasmine emerges alongside a dry tobacco leaf, creating a floral-tobacco accord over earthy patchouli. The base shifts toward resinous warmth with frankincense, myrrh, and benzoin, while vanilla and tonka bean add a soft sweetness over vetiver's dry earthiness. Development is gradual but significant, moving from floral brightness to a smoky, balsamic dry-down. Longevity is excellent, projecting moderately for hours, best suited for cool evenings and formal occasions.
