By the editors · 2 min readA nocturnal animalic chypre that opens with a brief flicker of bergamot before plunging into the resins. There is no real heart phase — the composition skips straight to a dense base of labdanum, benzoin, vanilla and tonka knit through with civet and the smoky earth of cypriol and vetiver.
Saffron and clove sharpen the edges; styrax adds a balsamic gleam. The result is heavy, slow, and unmistakably nightlife-leaning: a parfum built for cold air, dark fabric, and a long evening. It projects close to the skin for the first hour, then settles into a thick balsamic murmur that lasts the rest of the night.
