By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens with a bright citrus burst that quickly settles into a warm aromatic foundation. Tonka bean emerges early, lending a sweet coumarin character that blends seamlessly with the sandalwood core. Sandalwood provides a creamy woody texture that dominates the heart, softened by ambergris's saline mineral quality. Amber resin adds a subtle balsamic warmth that deepens the dry-down without overwhelming the composition. The scent remains remarkably linear after the first hour, maintaining a consistent sandalwood-tonka accord throughout its wear. Projection stays intimate after initial application, lasting six to eight hours on skin with minimal evolution. Best suited for autumn evenings and casual wear in cool dry conditions where its woody sweetness feels comforting.
