By the editors · 2 min readOpens with ginger, cardamom and nutmeg in a tight spice trio, the ginger sharp at first and then quickly warmed by the others. There is no citrus to ease the entry; the perfume reads dense and resinous within minutes.
The heart layers sandalwood, oud, amber and patchouli into a creamy-smoky-resinous chord. The oud is more polished than barnyard, the patchouli earthy and dark, and the sandalwood smooths the accord so the smoke never feels harsh.
The base of frankincense, labdanum, vanilla and musk pushes firmly into balsamic-amber territory. Frankincense adds churchy smoke, labdanum a sweet leather, vanilla a soft sweetening. Projection is strong and the trail lasts into the next day.
