By the editors · 2 min readFrankincense and bergamot open with a resinous citrus-spice accord that feels both aromatic and slightly smoky. Ylang-ylang and jasmine add a rich floral sweetness that blends with heliotrope's powdery almond character and clove's warm spice. Sandalwood, vanilla, and cedar form a creamy woody base that is deepened by patchouli's earthiness and styrax's balsamic warmth. The dry-down becomes increasingly ambery and vanillic, with a smooth, almost gourmand richness underlying the spicy-resinous core. This composition evolves significantly over several hours, moving from spicy-aromatic to sweet-woody-balsamic. It projects strongly initially and maintains good longevity, suited for evening or formal occasions in cool fall or winter weather.
