By the editors · 2 min readA short composition — orange and saffron at the top, patchouli through the heart, musk and woody notes in the base. The opening citrus bite is brief; saffron's slightly leathery, slightly sweet quality is what carries.
Patchouli dominates the development — earthy and slightly chocolatey, more medicinal than sensual. The woody base stays unspecified, which lets the patchouli-musk pair drive the long drydown. Despite the name, no agarwood is listed in the pyramid; the impression is more spicy-woody than oud-driven. Best in cooler weather and evening contexts where the patchouli weight reads as warmth rather than density.
