By the editors · 2 min readNeroli flashes first, a bright citrus-floral spark that quickly picks up smoke from guaiac wood, turning the opening into a dry, peppery incense. Rosewood slips in next, its pink-hued timber softening the edges while saffron leathery saffron dusts the heart with a muted, hay-like spice that keeps the composition angular rather than creamy. As the top notes recede, two grades of sandalwood—one milky, one drier—layer over vetiver’s cool rootiness and patchouli’s cocoa-brown earth, forming a monochrome wood accord that smells like carved cedar left in warm dusk air. The scent stays close, projecting no farther than shirt-cuff for six hours, then folds into a clean, slightly salty skin facet that reads smart-casual rather than opulent. Cool evenings and air-conditioned offices fit its restrained swagger; humid heat flattens the saffron lift and blurs the sandalwood distinction.
