By the editors · 2 min readOrange and nutmeg open with a candied citrus warmth, the nutmeg pushing the fruit toward something more cooked than fresh. The first impression is dense and slightly syrupy from the start.
With no declared heart, the composition moves quickly into its base, and the transition is more a deepening than a shift. The orange takes on the character of a marmalade rather than a juice.
Tonka bean, labdanum, and amber build a thick, balsamic resinous base around the citrus. Ambergris in the broader frame adds a salty-animalic warmth. The dry-down is rich and tactile, with the labdanum-amber-tonka triad producing a glowing, slightly leathery warmth that lasts well into the next day. Projects strongly early, then settles close.
