By the editors · 2 min readJasmine, saffron, and black currant open with an unusual combination — the currant's dark fruitiness against saffron's metallic-spicy character creates a textured, slightly animalic impression. The jasmine adds floral support without lightening it much.
Frankincense in the heart deepens the incense quality, overlapping with the base elements of ambroxan and ambergris that arrive early. The incense is drier and more austere than many modern oud-adjacent constructions.
White musk and vanilla soften the finish; ambroxan gives it a long, skin-close trail. Neighbors consistently reference leather, amber, and tobacco. This reads as a resinous, smoky amber with a distinctive saffron-frankincense core — suited to cool evenings and formal occasions.
