By the editors · 2 min readRosewood and lemon offer a woody-citrus opening that is quickly complicated by aromatic basil and earthy cumin, creating a spicy and slightly savory initial impression. Osmanthus adds a fruity-floral nuance that bridges into a complex floral heart featuring jasmine, ylang-ylang, lily of the valley, iris, and rose. This bouquet is powdery, rich, and slightly indolic, supported by a base where oakmoss and leather provide a classic chypre structure. Sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli, and amber contribute woody depth and resinous warmth, while musk and ambergris ensure lasting power. Projection is strong initially but becomes more intimate over time, lasting well over twelve hours. Suitable for formal evenings and cooler weather, its complexity demands attention.
