By the editors · 2 min readBergamot flashes first, a quick metallic citrus that shears across skin before vanishing. Labdanum arrives early, folding its leathery-amber warmth around the peony, turning the flower waxy and faintly sweet rather than fresh. The heart accord feels dry, almost desert-like, as vetiver threads smoke through the resins, while myrrh and benzoin thicken the base into a soft, powdery incense that clings to musk. Patchouli stays quiet, lending earthiness that keeps the composition from turning sugary. On skin the scent collapses inward after ninety minutes, becoming a skin-close veil of resinous wood and powdered peony with a cool mineral edge. Projection remains polite; it works best in spring-cool offices or spring-evening dinners where subtlety is valued.
