Aurum
Fragrance notes
Character
Aurum opens with a heavy hand. The rum and cognac are loud, and the cinnamon pushes hard from the first moment. Dates add a thick, sticky sweetness that can feel blunt if the air around you is already warm. It is a bold start that does not ask for permission.
The heart settles into dried fruits and plum, with honey smoothing the edges. Tobacco brings a dry, leafy texture that cuts through the sugar. Black pepper adds a small, sharp bite that keeps the middle from becoming a flat line of dessert notes.
The base is a dense mix of tonka bean, vanilla, and amber. Benzoin and tolu balsam add a resinous weight, while patchouli and cedar ground the blend with earth and wood. The powdery accord sits over everything, giving the drydown a soft, slightly dusty finish.
Wear this when the air is cold and the sky is gray, with a coat collar turned up against the wind. It fits a person who enjoys a scent that feels rich and unapologetically sweet, and who wants that warmth wrapped around them on a quiet, chilly evening.
