Bergamot and nutmeg open, but briefly — the bright citrus barely registers before nutmeg's cool-warm spice begins steering the composition somewhere darker.

By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and nutmeg open, but briefly — the bright citrus barely registers before nutmeg's cool-warm spice begins steering the composition somewhere darker.
Vanilla and heliotrope arrive in the heart, but instead of going gourmand they pair with the spice and a faint cinnamon shadow to set up something almost incense-like. The vanilla here is dense rather than sweet, the heliotrope adding almond and a touch of powder.
The base is where the real architecture lives: oud, leather, sandalwood, amber, patchouli, and ambergris layered into a smoky resinous warmth. The leather is the dominant impression, the oud restrained but present, the whole thing animalic at close range. Overall the character is rich and ceremonial, deeply cool-weather, evening, demanding rather than easy.
