By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and rose open simultaneously — the rose immediately full-throated, the bergamot adding a lift before disappearing under the flower's weight.
Patchouli braids into the heart, the rose now sitting on a balsamic, slightly oudy frame. There's a thread of warm spice — almost cinnamon-edged — that builds through the middle, taking the composition into Middle-Eastern territory.
Incense, benzoin and Virginia cedar form a smoky, resinous base, the rose still legible. Overall character: a smoky rose-oud-amber, dense and dry. The smoke holds rather than dissipates. The amber gives the whole thing a slow, glowing trail.
