By the editors · 2 min readApple and petitgrain give the opening a crisp, slightly green-fruity cast before the heart turns deeper: ambergris, vanilla, iris, and damask rose woven together in classic oriental architecture. The iris keeps things from going purely sweet; the rose adds romantic weight without insisting.
The base is where the construction shows itself — labdanum and benzoin building amber alongside literal amber, patchouli and cedar lending earth and shadow. Ambergris adds a salty, animalic edge. Wears slowly and warmly, with the kind of drydown that you keep noticing on yourself hours later. For cold weather, indoor evenings.
