By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and orange open with a citrus sharpness that quickly gives way to a floral heart of rose, iris, jasmine, and ylang-ylang. The florals are dense rather than delicate — ylang-ylang lends a slightly heady, almost tropical quality while iris tempers with cool powder.
As the heart settles, incense and styrax introduce a resinous smokiness beneath the florals. Patchouli and oakmoss push the composition into distinctly earthy, chypre territory — damp, green-mossy, and rooted rather than sweet or ambery.
The dry-down is mossy and smoky with a musky undertow, giving the whole fragrance a deep, architectural quality that reads both earthy and formally floral throughout its evolution.
