Cinnamon, jasmine, and iris compose the heart. Cinnamon extends the warm-spicy character, jasmine adds a creamy white-floral middle, and iris contributes cool powdery depth. The development reads as a layered spiced-floral with classical orientalist structure.
Sandalwood, leather, amber, and vanilla close the composition. Leather pairs with the saffron from the opening, lending continuity across the phases, while sandalwood and amber add creamy-balsamic warmth. Vanilla rounds the edges. The overall character is a saffron-cinnamon leather-oriental with floral complications. Cooler weather and evening contexts suit it; longevity is strong.
