By the editors · 2 min readSaffron and cardamom create an immediate warm-spicy opening with a hint of anise’s sweet licorice nuance. This spicy blend dominates the top notes, feeling rich and slightly resinous from the start. Musk emerges early, adding a soft animalic texture that blends with the spices rather than standing apart. Ambergris contributes a salty, mineral-like quality in the base, while myrrh adds a balsamic depth and vanilla introduces sweetness. The dry-down becomes a warm, musky blend with vanillic sweetness and subtle oceanic undertones. Projection is moderate but persistent, evolving slowly over several hours into a skin-scent with good longevity. Best for cooler weather and evening occasions.
