By the editors · 2 min readCinnamon and cumin open with a bold spice-forward statement — cinnamon's sweet warm bark meeting cumin's earthy-animalic depth. The entry is unmistakably eastern in its directness, neither subtle nor cautious.
Jasmine, ylang-ylang, and rose develop a heavy white-and-yellow floral heart. Ylang's banana-creamy depth dominates, with jasmine adding indolic richness and rose contributing classical roundness. The spice from the opening continues to thread through this floral bouquet.
Sandalwood, oud, benzoin, cedar, and musk close the composition with a dense oriental drydown. Sandalwood's creamy warmth meets oud's smoky resinous edge, while benzoin sweetens and cedar provides structure. Overall it reads as a maximalist spicy floral-oriental, opulent and statement-making, oriented toward cool-weather evening wear.
