By the editors · 2 min readFrankincense and saffron open with an austere resinous chord, the incense smoky-cool and the saffron leathery-warm. The entry feels immediately serious, with no bright distraction.
Sandalwood and oud carry the heart in a dense woody pairing. The oud reads more refined than barnyard, threading smoky depth without crossing into animal. Sandalwood adds a creamy counterweight that keeps the middle from going entirely dark.
Amber, patchouli, and musk close out the dry-down with a warm balsamic finish. Amber sweetens the close softly, patchouli adds earthy depth, and musk smooths the transition. The overall character is a contemplative incense-oud composition, dry rather than sweet, suited to cool-weather evening wear.
