By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens cleanly, bright and short-lived, acting mostly as a citrus lift before the composition settles into its real character. Patchouli arrives early and stays — earthy, dark, and slightly camphoraceous — shaped by clove and nutmeg from the general notes into something warm and spiced.
Guaiac wood and sandalwood build a dry, resinous mid-section. The smokiness implied by the guaiac wood and ambroxan combination gives a muted but persistent depth. Ambroxan keeps the whole thing from feeling heavy by adding a diffusive, skin-warm quality.
The dry-down is woody and slightly balsamic, with patchouli still present beneath the wood. Suited to cool weather and evenings, with moderate-to-good projection.
