By the editors · 2 min readLavender and a citrus duo of orange and bergamot flicker briefly at the top, fougère-adjacent for a moment before the perfume reveals what it actually is. The heart is brief — a single rose note as a transition — and then the base takes over completely.
What unfolds is a textbook amber: vanilla and labdanum stacked on benzoin, with literal amber present, sandalwood and cedar adding density, and patchouli sealing the warmth. The rose drifts back through, lending sweetness without turning the perfume floral.
It wears thick, golden, and slow — a winter perfume in the strict sense, sweet without being a gourmand, and meant to fill a room rather than a bus seat.
