By the editors · 2 min readSaffron, orange and bergamot open with a leather-tinted citrus burst, the saffron lending its characteristic suede-like warmth from the very first spray. The opening reads polished and serious, more Middle Eastern than Mediterranean.
Sandalwood, jasmine, cedar, violet and rose share the heart, the rose dominating with a jammy, slightly oud-tinted depth. The flowers stay rich and a little dusty, the violet adding a powdered shimmer behind the rose's heavier velvet.
White musk, guaiac wood and patchouli close things down, the guaiac smoky and slightly tarry, the patchouli grounding everything with earthy darkness. Overall character is opulent and traditional, a rose-oud composition for cool evenings with strong projection and a long, smoky-rose drydown that hugs fabric for hours.
