By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper opens with a sharp fresh-spicy kick that feels dry and slightly pungent against the skin. Frankincense and nutmeg introduce a resinous balsamic warmth and a soft-spicy nuance that blends with the pepper. Oud provides a woody and slightly animalic depth that contrasts with the brighter spices, while amber and musk add a sweet resinous and skin-like base. The composition evolves from spicy and aromatic to woody and balsamic, with a smoky undertone from the frankincense. Projection is intimate and longevity is extended, making it suitable for evening wear in cold weather. It offers a dense and evolving scent profile best for formal or special occasions.
