By the editors · 2 min readFig and bergamot open with a brief citrus-green brightness before cinnamon and jasmine take over. The cinnamon here is assertive and dry rather than bakery-sweet, and it dominates the heart with a warm-spicy character that keeps jasmine from becoming too soft.
Labdanum, myrrh, and tonka bean form a resinous base that deepens the spice rather than sweetening it. Patchouli and cedar add a woody, slightly earthy dryness that anchors everything, while myrrh contributes a faint bitter-balsamic quality.
The overall character is warm and resinous, with cinnamon as the clear focal point sustained through to the base. This sits firmly in cool-weather territory — more evening than daytime.
