By the editors · 2 min readA dense opening — ginger, apple, sandalwood, oud, frankincense, saffron, tobacco — establishes a complex spiced-resinous character from the first moments. Sandalwood and oud arriving in the top is unusual; the composition reads as front-loaded.
Rosewood, oud, jasmine, honey, and rose compose the heart. Honey adds sweet, slightly animalic warmth, while rose and jasmine bring floral structure against the dominant resinous-woody character. Oud continues to read clearly.
Sandalwood, cinnamon, leather, and amber close. Leather and cinnamon thread through the base alongside sandalwood's creamy warmth and amber's resinous depth. Overall a dense oud-tobacco-leather with honey and spice complications. Cool-to-cold weather and longer evening wear suit it; sillage is strong.
