By the editors · 2 min readSaffron ignites the opening with a metallic, medicinal snap that crackles across the incense haze already rising from the skin. Bulgarian rose swells underneath, its petals lacquered by honey until they gleam like lacquered wood, while jasmine adds a narcotic humidity that keeps the heart from turning brittle. The incense never retreats; instead it sinks into the base where vetiver and cedar splinter it into dry, jagged shards, and patchouli darkens the ember trails left on fabric. Cumin and tobacco arrive late, their sweaty, cured-leaf bite cutting the honeyed sweetness so the final aura smells more like singed silk than confection. Projection stays arm-length for eight hours, drifting a cold, resinous smoke perfect for winter evenings or formal rooms where silence is currency.
