By the editors · 2 min readAmbergris and papyrus introduce a saline, slightly animalic aroma that merges with cedar’s dry woodiness in the opening. Clove and cardamom soon amplify the warmth, adding a peppery-spicy heart that feels both aromatic and resinous. Sandalwood and amber form a smooth, balsamic base that is subtly enhanced by a clean musk, creating a dry-down that is rich and slightly powdery. Projection remains moderate throughout, settling close to the skin after the first hour with good persistence. Ideal for formal occasions in cooler weather, this scent blends aromatic depth with woody warmth.
