By the editors · 2 min readFrankincense and labdanum open with a resinous, slightly smoky balsamic warmth. Lily of the valley adds a green floral touch that contrasts with the rich opening. Myrrh deepens the balsamic character, while jasmine, iris, and may rose contribute a powdery floral heart. Oud and sandalwood provide a woody base, amplified by animalic civet and ambergris for a complex dry-down. The fragrance is richly evolving from resinous floral to animalic woody with strong projection. Suitable for formal evening wear in cool weather.
