By the editors · 2 min readBulgarian rose and nutmeg create an opulent heart where floral sweetness meets warm, peppery spice. The rose is deep and slightly jammy, while nutmeg adds a dry, aromatic edge that prevents cloying richness. Birch tar introduces a smoky, leathery undertone that contrasts sharply with the floral core, creating tension. Labdanum provides a resinous, ambery base that blends with patchouli's earthy darkness to ground the composition. This scent evolves from floral-spicy to a smoky, resinous dry-down with significant projection. Longevity is extended, suited for evening wear in cooler seasons where its bold character can unfold fully.
