By the editors · 2 min readPlum and saffron hit first — dark fruit laced with the metallic, almost leathery quality saffron brings. Cardamom and nutmeg add dry warmth, and honey threads through, adding a faintly animalic richness. The opening is dense and deliberate.
Rose emerges in the heart alongside leather, labdanum, and patchouli, giving the composition a smoky, resinous core. Incense amplifies the darkness. The base deepens further with tobacco, styrax, and vanilla, which add a balsamic sweetness that anchors rather than lightens. Ambergris and musk give it a smooth, skin-like finish.
This is a rich, amber-leather oriental that moves from fruit and spice into smoke and resin. Heavy sillage, suited to cold evenings and formal occasions.
