By the editors · 2 min readGinger and oud open assertively — the ginger adding dry heat and the oud a raw, resinous darkness. Mandarin from the general notes provides a citrus brightness that keeps the opening from closing in too quickly. Pink pepper and black pepper together generate a sharp, layered spiciness.
Bulgarian rose emerges in the heart with clarity, its floral richness contrasting the dark oud-spice framework around it. The rose-oud pairing is a classic construction, and here it's executed with genuine tension between the two elements.
Incense and frankincense in the base add a balsamic smokiness. Cedar extends the woody character. The composition develops from hot-spicy through floral to smoky-resinous. A confident oriental with strong presence.
