By the editors · 2 min readPatchouli dominates immediately, delivering a camphoraceous green bite that feels almost medicinal. Labdanum enters next, pouring warm resinous amber over the patchouli while eucalyptus injects a cool, mentholated lift that keeps the resin from turning syrupy. Sandalwood in the base steadies the composition with creamy, milkwood softness, stretching the patchouli’s earthiness into a suede-like texture that lingers close to skin. The fragrance stays linear: the opening chill gradually warms, but the camphor-amber accord remains recognizable for hours. Projection sits at arm’s length for the first three hours, then collapses to a private amber glow. Cool evenings and layered fall wardrobes match its restrained, resinous character.
