By the editors · 2 min readFrom the Le Vestiaire Collection de Nuit series, composed by Carlos Benaïm. Black tea and pepper open quietly — not sharp, more like the cool dry character of a freshly opened tin. Iris arrives in the heart alongside olibanum, which gives a faint smoky powderiness rather than true incense weight. Jasmine keeps it from going too austere.
The base of amberwood and vanilla settles into the warmth the name promises — velvet-textured, not sweet, with musk holding the whole thing close to skin. Discontinued. Formal evening wear is its clearest setting, best in cool months when the amber has room to read.
