By the editors · 2 min readBasil and thyme lend an aromatic, slightly medicinal greenness from the start, supported by bergamot’s bright citrus lift. This herbal-citrus opening quickly recedes to reveal a dense, complex base dominated by oud and frankincense. Sandalwood adds a creamy, smooth woodiness that softens the smoky, resinous core of oud and labdanum. Cypriol and patchouli contribute an earthy, almost leathery depth, while clove provides a warm-spicy accent. Vanilla and musk offer a subtle sweetness and skin-adherence, making the dry-down rich and long-lasting. Projection is strong initially but settles into a moderate, evolving scent best for cool weather evenings or formal settings.
