By the editors · 2 min readFig leaf opens green and milky, threaded with magnolia's lemony floral lift and a juicy slice of orange. The opening reads bright but already hints at the warmer turn to come.
The heart pivots: cinnamon spices the edges with a dry, dusty heat, Bulgarian rose deepens into wine-dark territory, and ylang-ylang adds a creamy yellow-floral richness. The base is where the composition settles into its character — sandalwood smooth and milky-warm, incense lifting smoke-sweet curls of resin, amber pooling underneath, vanilla rounding the close with a soft balsamic hum. Projection is generous through the spiced floral phase, then settles into a warm, sweet-resinous halo that lingers well. The arc moves from green-fresh to amber-resinous over a few hours.
Overall a spiced floral-amber with incense glow.
