By the editors · 2 min readBulgarian rose and cumin open together — the cumin lending an immediate warm, slightly sweaty spice against the floral rose. Citrus from bergamot and lemon add brightness at the edges, keeping the opening from turning too heavy.
Lavender and clary sage bring an aromatic, slightly herbal quality to the heart, while benzoin begins introducing sweetness. Cypriol adds a dark, earthy undercurrent that grounds the mid-stage.
The base is rich and deliberate: sandalwood and oud frame a caramel-and-vanilla sweetness that becomes the signature. Musk softens the edges. The result is a gourmand-oriental leaning toward caramel and soft wood, with the cumin and oud providing occasional savory contrast throughout.
