By the editors · 2 min readRaspberry and saffron open together — the berry bright and slightly tart, the saffron metallic and dry, while thyme introduces a faint herbal edge. The combination is vivid and slightly dissonant, stopping short of sweetness.
Jasmine and olibanum shift the mood in the heart: the floral is cool and clean, the incense resinous and quietly smoky. Leather, amber, and suede form the base, the leather assertive and slightly animalic but smoothed by the amber's warmth. The suede tempers any harshness, leaving a polished, slightly worn texture. Overall, this reads as a dark, fruity-spiced leather — more Middle Eastern in character than European, with consistent warmth throughout its dry-down.
