By the editors · 2 min readA green herbal opening of basil, rosemary, lemon and bergamot clears the air briefly, the kind of aromatic top that promises a chypre and then takes the long way around to get there.
The heart is dense: tuberose and lavender braided through oakmoss, cardamom, heliotrope and patchouli, with benzoin already warming beneath. There's a lot happening at once, intentionally — late-eighties power perfumery before minimalism arrived.
The base turns animalic and resinous — leather, civet, castoreum, opoponax, frankincense, labdanum, amber, creamy sandalwood — and it lasts. The arc is operatic: aromatic prelude, floral bombast, then hours of warm, slightly sweaty resins.
