By the editors · 2 min readThe opening announces itself with a surge of myrrh and patchouli, dark and resinous, bypassing the usual citrus fanfare entirely. There's an immediate density here, a thickness that clings to the skin like incense smoke in a closed room. Amber registers not as sweetness but as a leathery, almost medicinal warmth, bolstered by tonka and vanilla that refuse to play soft.
As it settles, the composition reveals its architecture: layers of wood and spice that don't so much evolve as deepen, becoming richer and more molten. The vanilla stays grounded by myrrh's bitter edge, preventing any drift into dessert territory.
This is an evening fragrance that requires conviction to wear. It suits someone comfortable with presence, drawn to the incense-heavy end of oriental perfumery, who wants amber without powder or politeness. A substantial scent for cold weather and dim rooms.
