By the editors · 2 min readBergamot provides a brief, sharp citrus lift that quickly recedes into a dense, smoky heart of incense and opoponax. Labdanum and amber build a warm, resinous core that feels both balsamic and slightly animalic from the outset. The dry-down introduces a robust leather accord, grounded by earthy patchouli and the dry, woody character of sandalwood. Oud emerges as a significant force, lending a dry, slightly medicinal edge that intertwines with the leather and smoke. This composition projects assertively for several hours before settling into a closer, resinous skin scent with notable longevity. It suits cool weather evenings and formal occasions where its intense character can be fully appreciated.
