By the editors · 2 min readLemon and cardamom create an aromatic citrus-spice opening that feels both bright and warmly inviting. Cinnamon, clove, and saffron quickly build a complex warm-spicy heart supported by ylang-ylang and rose's floral richness. Labdanum and benzoin contribute a resinous balsamic quality that blends with vanilla and tonka bean's sweetness in the base. Leather and oud add dark earthy textures while sandalwood and moss provide woody depth, creating a multifaceted dry-down. The scent evolves significantly over hours, moving from spicy-citrus to resinous-woody with excellent projection. Longevity extends beyond twelve hours with strong sillage that gradually softens but remains noticeable. Ideal for fall and winter evenings where its complexity can be fully appreciated.
