By the editors · 2 min readSage and bergamot open with a fresh, aromatic citrus spark that quickly recedes to reveal a rich base. Rum accord provides a boozy, slightly fruity sweetness that intertwines with labdanum's resinous warmth. Cardamom adds a soft-spicy lift that prevents the sweetness from becoming cloying, while sandalwood offers a creamy, woody foundation. Vanilla and benzoin contribute a smooth, balsamic sweetness that dominates the dry-down, with musk ensuring it stays close to the skin. This scent evolves from bright aromatic to warm, sweet-woody over several hours. Ideal for fall or winter evenings, it projects moderately for seven to ten hours.
