By the editors · 2 min readYlang-ylang and stone fruit open things up with a heady, almost overripe quality. Plum and apricot read sweeter than sharp, cushioning the ylang before the heart arrives.
Cinnamon, frankincense, and rose form the core — warm, resinated, and slightly powdery. The incense keeps it from becoming a simple rose oriental; it adds a dry, smoky thread that runs through the development and prevents the fruit from dominating.
Sandalwood, benzoin, opoponax, and amber anchor the base in a dense, balsamic warmth. Cedar provides a little structure but stays in the background. Musk extends everything close to the skin on dry-down. Dense and enveloping overall.
