Vetiver, benzoin, amber, vanilla, cedar, and patchouli create a rich, resinous base. Benzoin and vanilla together produce a sweet, balsamic warmth; vetiver adds earthy-smoky contrast; patchouli deepens the composition; cedar supplies structure. The base is layered and generous.
Kasanga follows a familiar trajectory — bright opening, complex resinous close — but executes it with a satisfying density in the dry-down. The benzoin-vanilla-patchouli core is the composition's character. Best in cooler weather where the base has room to develop and project.
