By the editors · 2 min readStar anise and lemon open with sharp aromatic lift, quickly met by gardenia's creamy white floral density. Black pepper and cumin introduce a warm-spicy skin presence that amplifies the honeyed opoponax and labdanum resin core. Patchouli grounds the heart with earthy depth while sandalwood and ylang-ylang smooth the dry-down into a balsamic woody base. Eucalyptus adds a cooling counterpoint that prevents the composition from becoming overly heavy. Projection remains moderate with intimate sillage after the first hour, lasting through eight hours of wear. Best suited for cool evenings and formal occasions where its complex spice-resin character can unfold fully.
