By the editors · 2 min readOrange and lemon open with a modest citrus clarity, quickly joined by clary sage, which introduces a soft herbal, slightly medicinal quality. The opening is familiar and direct — not complex, but purposeful.
Cinnamon and jasmine take hold in the heart, with heliotrope adding an almond-like, powdery warmth beneath the spice. The cinnamon is forward without burning; the jasmine softens it. This accord reads as the recognisable signature of the composition.
The base is substantial: tonka, benzoin, vanilla, ambergris, and frankincense together build a resinous, sweet-balsamic warmth with a lightly smoky edge. Musk extends everything to a soft finish. The overall profile is warm, spiced, and balsamic — well-anchored throughout its dry-down.
