By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and saffron open together — the citrus clean and lifting, the saffron metallic and dry rather than honeyed. Thyme adds a faintly herbal edge that keeps the opening from reading as purely spicy. Jasmine and frankincense form the heart, the floral threading through incense smoke.
Leather dominates the base, firm and slightly animalic, with amber warming it from underneath. Vanilla is present but restrained, rounding the leather without softening it into sweetness. The overall arc moves from bright and spiced to dark and hide-like. Projection is steady without being aggressive, and the drydown is the most rewarding phase.
