By the editors · 2 min readBergamot offers a brief citrus brightness that quickly recedes, making way for a central jasmine note that is floral but not indolic. Incense and saffron form the core of the dry-down, creating a dry, smoky and slightly spicy accord that lacks sweetness or resinous depth. The scent is relatively linear after the top note fades, focusing on a meditative, arid smoky character with minimal evolution. Projection is intimate and longevity is limited, making it a skin scent within two hours. This minimalist composition suits cool weather evenings or contemplative moments indoors.
