By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is a warm spice cabinet set alight—cardamom and nutmeg dusted over saffron, with neroli providing a citrus brightness that keeps the blend from feeling heavy. It announces itself confidently but doesn't shout.
As it settles, jasmine and orange blossom emerge through the spice, their indolic richness softened by rose. The florals here aren't delicate or powdery; they're full-bodied and slightly animalic, creating a texture that feels substantial rather than airy.
The base is where it earns its name. Sandalwood and amber provide a creamy, resinous foundation, with vanilla smoothing everything into a skin-close sweetness that lingers for hours. This is evening wear for someone who wants warmth and presence without reaching for leather or oud—polished, enveloping, unapologetically rich.
