By the editors · 2 min readLavender and bergamot open with a bright aromatic freshness, quickly joined by clary sage's herbal green accent. Cinnamon and clove introduce a warm-spicy heart that wraps around ylang-ylang's creamy floral and heliotrope's powdery sweetness. The base deepens with sandalwood's creaminess, oakmoss's earthy depth, and tonka bean's vanillic warmth, while civet adds a subtle animalic lift. Benzoin provides a balsamic resinous base that ties the spicy and woody elements together cohesively. Projection is moderate initially but settles closer to the skin after two hours, lasting seven or eight hours total. Best for fall or winter evenings, this scent suits formal occasions or dates in cool to cold conditions.
