By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens with a crisp citrus note that quickly recedes to reveal a heart of jasmine and rose, floral and slightly powdery. Nutmeg introduces a warm-spicy accent that adds complexity without overpowering the florals. The base is dominated by birch and vetiver, which provide a smoky, woody foundation, while labdanum and benzoin contribute a balsamic amber richness. Patchouli adds an earthy depth that grounds the composition. The dry-down is a sophisticated blend of smoky woods, amber, and subtle spice. Projection is strong initially but settles to a moderate sillage. Longevity is excellent, lasting well over twelve hours. Ideal for cool weather formal evenings.
