By the editors · 2 min readLavender and saffron open crisp and slightly metallic, the cool herb quickly dusted by nutmeg’s dry, peppery heat. Within minutes the heart reveals a clean, medicinal oud—no barnished leather or barnyard funk—layered over a second shot of smooth agarwood that amplifies depth without adding smoke. Patchouli arrives early in the base, supplying a camphorous, cocoa-like earth that keeps the woods from turning creamy, while clean white musk lifts the structure, ensuring the accord stays airy rather than syrupy. On skin the scent relaxes into a soft, woody-spice haze where lavender resurfaces as a cool ribbon, extending wear beyond the typical sharp oud fade. Projection sits at arm’s length for six hours, then withdraws to a quiet, cloth-bound skin scent perfect for cool offices or layered fall evenings.
