By the editors · 2 min readSaffron and tobacco open with a rich, spicy-dry warmth complemented by coffee's roasted bitterness that creates an intense aromatic introduction. Jasmine and damask rose introduce a floral counterpoint that softens the heart, while heliotrope and osmanthus add a powdery fruitiness that blends into tonka bean's sweet hay-like character. Ambergris and civet provide an animalic depth that merges with amber's resinous glow and vanilla's creamy sweetness in the base, creating a complex, long-lasting trail. Projection is bold and expansive initially, gradually receding to a warm skin-scent that persists for over twelve hours through evening wear. This opulent blend suits formal or special occasions in colder weather where its richness can fully develop.
