By the editors · 2 min readGinger and cinnamon provide a warm-spicy opening that is brightened by bergamot's citrus freshness. Jasmine and ylang-ylang bring a rich floral heart, adding a creamy, slightly tropical depth. The base is complex, with oakmoss and patchouli creating an earthy, mossy foundation, while iris contributes a powdery texture. Labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla blend into a warm ambery accord, softened by tonka bean's sweetness. Ambergris adds a subtle animalic nuance, and cedar provides dry woody support. This chypre evolves significantly over hours, projecting moderately with good longevity for fall or winter evenings.
