By the editors · 2 min readBulgarian rose and bergamot open bright and slightly tart, the citrus thinning the rose so it doesn't bloom too jammy. The framing is restrained, almost cologne-like for an oud-led composition.
The heart pivots to oud paired with iris, an unusual juxtaposition that softens the resin's barnyard edge with cool, carrot-skin powder. The oud here reads more medicinal-clean than fermented, and the iris pulls everything toward a powdery, rooty grey.
Cedar in the base lengthens the woods into something dry and pencil-sharp. Leather notes give the drydown a smooth suede feel rather than tannic hide. Refined, polished, and quieter than most oud compositions; closer to skin after the opening hour.
