By the editors · 2 min readNeroli and orange open with a bright, slightly bitter citrus clarity that lifts the composition immediately. The patchouli arrives quickly and anchors everything — earthy and slightly camphoraceous, but not harsh.
As the citrus recedes, patchouli settles alongside sandalwood in a dry, resinous mid-stage. Vanilla begins to surface here, rounding the edges without sweetening excessively.
The dry-down is warm and unhurried: sandalwood and musk hold the patchouli in place while vanilla adds a soft, creamy finish. The result is a grounded, earthy oriental with just enough citrus lift to keep it from feeling heavy. Straightforward in construction, balanced in execution.
