By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper and saffron create a spicy, aromatic opening with warm, slightly pungent edges. Magnolia and rose emerge, offering a floral heart that is both creamy and slightly sharp. Oud and agarwood dominate the base with a dark, woody character that feels dense and slightly animalic. Vetiver and patchouli add earthy, green undertones that ground the composition with dry texture. The scent projects strongly initially but settles into a closer wear with significant longevity. Suitable for fall or winter evenings, it carries a bold, complex character.
