By the editors · 2 min readIncense and nutmeg arrive first — dry, slightly smoky, and warm-spiced. Rose adds a brief floral lift that quickly recedes as the composition moves deeper.
Labdanum and patchouli form a rich, resinous heart. Labdanum brings a dark, honeyed stickiness; patchouli adds earthy depth and a subtle darkness. Together they push the fragrance toward a dense, balsamic territory that feels distinctly Middle Eastern in orientation.
Amberwood and sandalwood anchor the base alongside vanilla and musk, giving the drydown a smooth, woody-amber warmth. The smokiness from the opening lingers throughout. This is a heavy, resinous composition that wears close over time — best suited to cool evenings and cold weather.
