Fragrance notes
Character
Bergamot leads with a bright, clean citrus touch that fades quickly into the dense heart of the scent. Rose rises next, soft and velvety, but it is soon surrounded by the heavy resins waiting below. Cumin and leather anchor the blend, giving it a rough, animalic edge that stays near the skin while the resins keep their hold for hours. The styrax and amyris add a balsamic depth that feels warm against cool night air. This is a fragrance for dimly lit streets and quiet, late gatherings where the air is still.
Oud and incense build a smoky, amber-rich foundation that feels ancient and bold. The leather note carries a dry, aged quality that pairs with the spice of cumin to create a scent that is challenging rather than comforting. It suits someone who enjoys bold, resinous accords and does not mind a rough, animalic character in their perfume. Those who prefer light, airy florals or clean citrus waters will find this blend too heavy and intrusive. It is a scent that wraps around the wearer like a heavy wool coat worn on a silent, moonlit walk through an empty city square.
