By the editors · 2 min readThe opening arrives with warmth rather than sharpness—saffron and cardamom soften the pepper trio, while apricot lends a golden, almost suede-like quality to the spice. It feels deliberate and unhurried, more amber-toned than bright.
As it settles, the composition reveals its ambition: vetiver threads through both heart and base, grounding what could be an overly floral middle. Cedar adds pencil-shaving dryness to osmanthus and iris, while rose stays polite in the background. The effect is less about individual flowers than a cohesive woody-floral haze.
The drydown is where the formula finds its identity—resins and benzoin create a soft, vanillic glow that never turns sweet. This wears close and comfortable, pitched somewhere between a skin scent and something with presence. It suits someone looking for warmth without heaviness, complexity without showiness.
