By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens with a citrus brightness that quickly yields to jasmine and rose — full, warm florals that carry the composition's center. The florals read as rich rather than fresh, building toward the heavier base.
Incense and opoponax anchor the dry-down with a smoky, balsamic resin that's dense but not sharp. Tonka bean adds smooth warmth, while iris introduces a cool powdery facet that keeps the whole from becoming too opaque.
The overall character is a smoky-floral oriental — balsamic incense over rose and iris, lifted by bergamot at the surface. The iris and opoponax together create a distinctive tension between powder and resin.
