By the editors · 2 min readPlum and grapefruit open together — the plum brings dark, slightly fermented sweetness while the grapefruit keeps things from feeling heavy. Bergamot tightens the citrus edge early on.
Ginger and cardamom emerge in the heart alongside rosewood, creating a warm-spiced mid-section with a dry, slightly woody quality. The spices are direct rather than decorative — cardamom especially reads clearly.
Sandalwood, leather, and incense anchor the base. The leather here is smooth rather than aggressive, and the frankincense adds a resinous smokiness that draws the whole composition toward something austere and dry. Overall, this is a dark, spiced oriental with a composed, slightly formal character.
