By the editors · 2 min readCinnamon arrives first—not the sugary bakery kind, but a drier, almost medicinal warmth that bleeds into smoky labdanum. The opening feels deliberate and serious, more incense than spice rack, setting a contemplative mood that doesn't rush anywhere.
As it settles, sandalwood and guaiac wood form a creamy, slightly pencil-shavings backbone, while nutmeg drifts through intermittently. The woods never turn aggressively smoky; they maintain a polished, resinous quality that feels composed rather than raw. The transition from top to heart is gradual, almost seamless.
The base brings amber and vanilla into soft focus—sweet but restrained, never gourmand. Musk grounds everything with a skin-close finish that lasts well into the evening. This is oud-inspired Middle Eastern perfumery for someone who wants richness without theatrics, depth without density. It wears formal but never stiff.
