By the editors · 2 min readBenzoin opens with a resinous, toffee-like sweetness that immediately warms the skin, setting a thick amber tone. The heart introduces honey, its waxy pollen richness amplifying the benzoin’s caramel edge while ambergris begins to exhale a salty, skin-like breath beneath. Labdanum deepens the base, adding a leathery, incense-dark amber that slowly replaces the honey’s brightness with a low-tide musk. Wear stays close, projecting no farther than forearm distance, yet the resinous film lingers for eight hours, growing drier and more mineral. Cool evenings and layered knits let the salty ambergris glow; summer heat turns the accord syrupy and dense.
