By the editors · 2 min readCumin and heliotrope create an unusual opening—spicy, powdery, and slightly almond-like—with bergamot adding a faint citrus lift. Lavender and jasmine form a floral heart that tempers the initial spice with a soft, aromatic sweetness. Sandalwood, amber, and vanilla build a warm, creamy base that smooths out the composition into a comforting dry-down. The fragrance evolves significantly, moving from provocative spice to a gentle oriental warmth over three hours. Sillage is moderate initially but becomes more intimate as it settles. Best for cooler weather evening wear where its unique character can shine.
