By the editors · 2 min readThyme opens alone — dry, herbal, and slightly medicinal. It's an unusual top note choice, and its presence establishes an immediately identifiable character. There is a savory quality from the start, unlike most aromatic fragrances.
Cinnamon, saffron, and clove develop in the heart. The cinnamon is prominent and warm; saffron adds a golden, slightly smoky-floral quality; clove brings a deep, almost medicinal spice. Together they create a complex, rich oriental spice accord.
Sandalwood, vetiver, and styrax close the fragrance — sandalwood creamy and smooth, vetiver dry and earthy, styrax adding sweet balsamic depth. The overall composition is an intensely spiced, dark oriental with genuine weight. Not casual.
