By the editors · 2 min readSaffron and cinnamon announce themselves early, sitting atop orange blossom in a warm, spiced opening with a faintly floral softness. The saffron carries its characteristic metallic-leathery quality, which keeps the sweetness from reading as purely gourmand.
Iris and jasmine in the heart add a powdery, slightly cool counterpoint to the spice, while labdanum, benzoin, and vanilla build a dense, resinous base alongside patchouli and sandalwood. Tonka bean and guaiac wood add smoothness and a light smokiness respectively. The base is the dominant story here — rich, warm, and sustained.
This is a full-bodied oriental built around spice and amber-resin, wearing with considerable presence. Best suited to cool weather and evening occasions.
