By the editors · 2 min readBenzoin and rose open together, creating a resinous, slightly honeyed impression before the dry-down takes hold. The two feel inseparable from the start — sweet and floral, pulling in equal directions.
Patchouli and amberwood deepen the core, grounding the rose in dark, earthy warmth. The balsamic quality that benzoin introduces carries through this middle phase, keeping everything slightly sticky and rich.
Pink pepper arrives late, cutting through with a dry, crackling edge that prevents the composition from becoming too dense. The result is a resinous rose with bite — heavier than a casual wear but not oppressively so. Best in cooler weather.
