By the editors · 2 min readSaffron opens dry and leathery, its hay-like bitterness cutting through any sweetness that might follow. Incense rises quickly, fusing with the spice to create a smoky, resinous heart that feels austere rather than churchy. The base layers ambroxan’s mineral glow under a thick slab of caramel and amber, turning the smoke into a warm, slightly edible skin-trail that lingers close. Over hours the caramel softens, letting the amber’s balsamic richness dominate while the incense hovers like a memory. Projection stays intimate—arm-length at best—making it a quiet evening scent for cool weather when you want warmth without gourmand excess.
