By the editors · 2 min readYlang-ylang, amber, and rose open simultaneously — banana-cream floral against golden resin against jammy pink, all three at full saturation from the first second. No citrus or green top phase.
The heart layers more amber over sandalwood, doubling down on resinous-woody warmth. The composition gains depth rather than brightness, the rose holding a darker thread underneath.
The base goes ceremonial. Incense and frankincense add dry-air smokiness, benzoin contributes a sticky-sweet balsamic thread, vanilla rounds the resin, patchouli grounds it. Musk closes the loop. Overall character is an amber-incense composition with a creamy ylang-rose middle — dense, smoky, slightly liturgical, contemplative cold-weather wear.
