By the editors · 2 min readBenzoin opens with a warm, resinous balsamic note that sets a rich tone from the start. Patchouli in the heart adds an earthy, slightly sweet depth that transitions into the base. Sandalwood provides a creamy woody foundation, while amber and vanilla contribute a sweet, ambery warmth that lingers on the skin. The scent is relatively linear, with minimal evolution, and projects intimately close to the body. Longevity is good, lasting several hours. Suitable for fall and winter, ideal for cozy evenings or home wear. Best in cold weather, it offers a comforting, oriental character. Sillage is low, making it a personal scent that doesn't fill the room but remains noticeable up close.
