By the editors · 2 min readCinnamon, magnolia, neroli, saffron, cardamom, and bergamot crowd the opening. The spices arrive first — cinnamon and cardamom warming everything immediately — while the florals and citrus add lift around them. The effect is dense and almost incense-like.
Ylang-ylang carries the heart on its own, banana-creamy and waxy with a slight green-spicy edge. The lingering cinnamon keeps the ylang from going sticky, while traces of saffron continue underneath. The transition is gradual.
Sandalwood forms the entire base. The drydown is creamy, slightly milky, and warm — sandalwood letting the ylang trail into something close-knit and lightly spiced. Projection is moderate, longevity respectable. The whole reads as a warm-spicy floral with a generous, polished sandalwood finish.
