By the editors · 2 min readIncense and cardamom open with a smoky, spicy aroma that is brightened by bergamot's citrus touch. The heart features ylang-ylang, adding a creamy, floral sweetness that balances the initial intensity. Benzoin and patchouli in the base provide a balsamic, earthy foundation that ensures the scent has good staying power. Projection is moderate, with the smoky notes projecting well initially before settling. Best for fall and winter, suitable for casual or evening occasions in cool weather. The composition evolves from spicy-smoky to floral-resinous, with a smooth transition. Longevity is around 4-7 hours, with the scent becoming more skin-close as it wears, offering a consistent aromatic experience.
