By the editors · 2 min readSaffron lands first, its leathery iodine edge cutting through bergamot’s bright zest to create a bittersweet, slightly metallic shimmer. Iris steps in immediately, powdering the saffron and letting jasmine’s indolic lift ride on top while praline’s caramelised sugar softens the spices without turning dessert-like. The heart keeps shifting: iris powder thickens, jasmine grows creamier, and the praline slowly melts into sandalwood’s buttery wood. By dry-down the oud emerges as a clean, medicinal ribbon stitched to patchouli’s cocoa-brown earth, both cushioned by lingering sandal and a faint nutty praline haze. Projection stays at arm’s length for six hours before settling into a skin-glow of woody balsam. Cool autumn nights and smart-casual dinners fit its polished darkness best.
