By the editors · 2 min readIncense and mint open with a cool smoky-green aura, slightly medicinal yet refreshing from bergamot's citrus lift. Iris emerges quickly, imparting a powdery texture that smooths the aromatic sharpness of the top notes. Nutmeg adds a subtle warm-spicy accent that bridges the heart to the base without dominating. Vetiver and amberwood form a dry earthy foundation, deepened by benzoin's faint balsamic sweetness. The scent evolves linearly over three hours, retaining its smoky-powdery character with moderate projection. Sillage remains intimate after the first hour, longevity around six hours. Best for cool weather and casual or evening wear, suited to those appreciating aromatic earthiness.
