By the editors · 2 min readOlibanum provides an aromatic resinous opening that is both slightly smoky and spiritually uplifting. Ylang-ylang adds a tropical floral sweetness that complements the resinous top note rather than contrasting with it. Vanilla forms the heart of the fragrance, creating a creamy sweet core that binds the composition together. Benzoin in the base enhances the vanilla with its balsamic warmth while musk adds a soft skin-scent foundation. The scent evolves from aromatic-resinous to sweet-balsamic over the first hour of wear. Projection is moderate initially but settles to an intimate aura within two hours. Longevity is good, lasting through a workday, and best suited for evening wear in cooler seasons.
