By the editors · 2 min readNeroli opens bright and slightly honeyed, its orange-blossom bitterness cut by lemon’s sharp zest and bergamot’s quieter green sparkle. The heart folds creamy sandalwood beneath heliotrope’s almond-powder sheen, letting iris’s cool earthiness tame the white-flower sweetness while olibanum adds a translucent resin lift. Ambergris and labdanum melt into vanilla, forming a salty-amber glow that is darkened by patchouli’s cocoa earth and a whisper of castoreum leather, so the late dry-down feels warm, musky, softly animalic yet still polished. Projection stays at arm’s length for eight hours, making it office-safe yet present. Cool fall days and early spring evenings show it best, where the incense-iris accord can breathe without heat flattening its musky amber trail.
