By the editors · 2 min readOpens with a sprawling vintage cologne top: petitgrain's bitter leafy edge, rosemary's herbal cool, and a citrus trio of orange, lemon, and bergamot all hitting bright together. The composition signals a classical aromatic structure from the first moment.
The heart blooms warm and spiced. Cinnamon and clove add dry-spicy prickle while jasmine, ylang-ylang, and iris layer a creamy-powdered floral chorus underneath. The combination is dense — sweet florals pulling against warm spices in the manner of a mid-century oriental.
The base anchors hard with tonka bean, moss, sandalwood, labdanum, and vanilla. The drydown reads as a sweetened resinous chypre: powdered, slightly smoky from the labdanum, with moss adding green-bitter depth. Projection generous and longevity favourable. A composition with serious vintage bones.
