By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is dense from the first second — apple and cinnamon over saffron, lavender, cardamom, nutmeg, and a heavy citrus-styrax frame. There's almost no quiet phase; the composition reads ornate immediately.
The heart layers jasmine, lily of the valley, labdanum, cashmeran, and tobacco into a warm, smoky-floral middle. Tobacco lends a dry, slightly leathery thread that cuts the sweetness, while cashmeran adds suede-textural depth and labdanum darkens the resinous backbone.
The base is a maximalist amber: tonka, sandalwood, leather, guaiac, vetiver, benzoin, vanilla, patchouli, and musk. The drydown is plush, smoky, vanillic, and very long-lasting. Cold-weather evening territory only — large, ornate, projects strongly for hours.
