By the editors · 2 min readCivet and lemon create a striking opening: animalic and sharp, with a contrasting citrus brightness. Plum emerges quickly, adding a dark, fruity sweetness that bridges the top and heart. The base is deeply resinous, with labdanum, benzoin, and amber providing a warm, balsamic richness. Oakmoss and galbanum contribute an earthy, green undertone, while cedar adds dry woodiness. Styrax enhances the incense-like quality, and musk softens the blend. Evolution is significant, from pungent to polished, with intimate projection suited for contemplative wear in cool weather.
