By the editors · 2 min readRoi d'Orient opens with bergamot cutting through a lavender accord that reads more herbal than floral — cool and slightly medicinal before things warm up. Heliotrope and amber pull the heart toward a powdery, almond-edged softness, while the lavender lingers as a counterweight against the sweetness.
The leather in the base is restrained — more suede than hide — sitting alongside musk that keeps the drydown skin-close. Amber builds gradually, giving the final stage a warm, resinous quality without becoming cloying.
Overall this is an Oriental built on contrast: cool aromatic against warm resinous, powdery heliotrope against dry leather. It reads as a quieter, accessible take on the genre.
