By the editors · 2 min readBergamot provides a brief citrus introduction that quickly yields to the central patchouli note. Patchouli dominates the heart with its characteristic earthy and slightly sweet character. Sandalwood, oud, benzoin, and Virginia cedar create a complex woody-oriental base with resinous depth. The dry-down becomes increasingly warm and balsamic as benzoin blends with the woods. Sillage projects moderately at first but settles into a skin-close aromatic presence. Best for cooler weather evenings and formal occasions requiring sophistication.
