By the editors · 2 min readGinger, clove, apricot, and cardamom open with a complex, spiced-fruit accord that reads as warm, exotic, and richly layered from the first moment. The dry heat of clove and ginger mingles with the sweetness of apricot and the cooler aromatic quality of cardamom.
Ambergris, olibanum, tobacco, musk, and coffee in the base extend the complexity considerably. Olibanum adds smoky resin; tobacco contributes a leathery, slightly sweet depth; coffee darkens and adds bitterness; ambergris provides warm, salty skin-like warmth; musk anchors everything. This base is ambitious.
The composition is a rich, spiced oriental that develops from warm fruit-spice to a dark, resinous, tobacco-coffee drydown. A genuine complexity that rewards patience. Best suited to cool evenings and special occasions.
