By the editors · 2 min readMyrrh and saffron open with a resinous warmth, their balsamic texture immediately grounding the composition in an earthy aromatic character. Cedar provides a dry woody backbone that supports the transition into the heart where oud emerges with its leathery depth, complemented by opoponax's sweet resinous quality. Sandalwood and vetiver form a creamy yet earthy base that melds with patchouli's dark earthiness, creating a dry-down that is both woody and subtly animalic. This scent evolves linearly over several hours, maintaining its dense resinous core while projecting moderately within personal space before retreating close to skin. Best suited for cool weather evenings, it offers substantial longevity with a complex accord structure built on balsamic and woody foundations.
