By the editors · 2 min readSaffron introduces a warm, slightly medicinal spice that is both aromatic and slightly leathery in the opening. Oud dominates the heart with its characteristic woody, animalic, and slightly barnyard quality that is intense and complex. Cypriol, labdanum, and amber form a rich, balsamic base with resinous warmth and a leathery undertone that deepens the oud. The fragrance is linear in its dark, resinous-woody character, with minimal evolution beyond increasing warmth. Projection is strong and long-lasting, over twelve hours, best for fall and winter. Ideal for evening or formal occasions in cool to cold weather.
