By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper, raspberry, saffron, cardamom, and nutmeg open in a packed spice-fruit tangle — the pepper dry-biting, the raspberry tart-sweet, the saffron dry-medicinal, the cardamom and nutmeg adding warm camphorous edges. It's an immediately complex opening.
The heart is rich: sandalwood creamy, leather suede-soft, Bulgarian rose and rose adding jammy floral depth, cedar pencil-dry, caramel binding everything in a sticky warmth. The rose-leather-caramel braid is the signature — plush and slightly gothic.
Oakmoss, ambergris, frankincense, and olibanum settle the base. Moss earthy, ambergris salty-radiant, the resins cool-smoky underneath. Overall character: a saffron-rose-leather with a caramel sweetness and a smoky-mossy close. Strong projection, long opulent drydown.
