By the editors · 2 min readSandalwood and saffron open with a warm and slightly spicy woody accord that feels dry and aromatic. Nutmeg adds a subtle warm-spicy nuance that enhances the saffron's earthy richness. Orris provides a powdery and rooty quality that adds texture and depth to the heart. Sage introduces a green herbal note that contrasts with the warmth of the spices. The composition remains relatively linear, focusing on a woody spicy accord with powdery undertones. Projection is moderate with good longevity, suited for casual or formal wear in cooler seasons. Mandarin and clary sage in the general notes contribute a faint citrus and herbal freshness that lightens the dry woody character.
