By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is surprisingly restrained—saffron without the usual metallic shrillness, more warmth than spice. It settles quickly into something plush and close to the skin, where jasmine hovers just above suede rather than blooming outward. The effect is textile-like, less floral perfume than the impression of expensive fabric brushed with petals.
As it dries down, olibanum emerges with its characteristic resinous coolness, tempering the suede's softness without overpowering it. The musk stays quiet underneath, providing body rather than sweetness. The composition feels calibrated for intimacy—this is woody in the sense of a lined drawer or soft leather, not forest or sawdust.
Best suited to someone drawn to skin scents that suggest luxury without announcing it. The name undersells it slightly: there's more texture here than simple smoothness, a deliberate interplay between polish and warmth that reads sophisticated rather than safe.
