By the editors · 2 min readEucalyptus, cardamom, and bergamot open with an unusual cool-aromatic accord. The eucalyptus reads camphorous and almost menthol-bright, softened by cardamom's spice and bergamot's citrus warmth.
Incense, amber, iris, and violet shape a complex heart that pivots away from the cool opening. Incense brings smoky resin, amber sweet warmth, iris cool rooty powder, and violet a candied softness. The phase reads contemplative and dressed-up.
Sandalwood, vetiver, tobacco, and musk finish with a warm-smoky drydown. Tobacco is the loudest base voice, leafy and slightly sweet, with vetiver adding earthy depth. Overall character: a smoky-resinous oriental with an unusual cool-aromatic top, suited to cooler-weather evening wear and special occasions. Strong projection through the heart, intimate in the drydown.
