By the editors · 2 min readA sharp citrus-and-eucalyptus burst opens with cooling, medicinal clarity before green galbanum adds an edge of bitterness. The freshness is short-lived, giving way quickly to a dense patchouli heart where violet lends a dark, powdery softness and rose adds depth without sweetness.
The base is where this perfume settles permanently: frankincense and opoponax pull the composition into resinous, smoky territory, and sandalwood smooths the rough edges. The musk beneath is dry rather than warm.
Overall, this is a dark, balsamic patchouli-resin construction — the citrus top is a brief introduction rather than a defining character. It reads as earthy and smoky, best in cooler weather.
