By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain and orange provide a citrus aromatic opening with star anise adding a distinct licorice-like spice note. Cinnamon and clove quickly warm the heart with their intense warm spicy character that feels dry and penetrating. Iris contributes a powdery floral quality that softens the spice and adds texture to the mid-stage. The base reveals tonka bean and benzoin creating a sweet balsamic amber accord over earthy patchouli, while styrax adds a resinous smoky edge. This complex composition evolves significantly over hours, starting with strong projection that gradually settles into a closer wear. Ideal for fall and winter evenings, it offers excellent longevity with a rich, spicy-oriental dry-down.
