By the editors · 2 min readIncense and saffron create an immediate smoky-spicy opening, with grapefruit adding a sharp citrus lift that prevents the top from feeling heavy. Labdanum and patchouli form a resinous, earthy heart that blends with a dry rose note, adding floral depth without sweetness. Moss and ambergris in the base provide a damp, animalic undertone that grounds the composition in a classic chypre structure. The scent evolves from smoky-spicy to a more balanced earthy-amber dry-down with a subtle leathery quality. Projection is strong initially but becomes more intimate after three hours, lasting well into the evening. Suitable for formal occasions or cool weather wear where its complex character stands out.
