Fragrance notes
Character
Bitter orange and neroli open this composition with a bright, tart citrus lift that feels immediate and clean. The citrus does not dominate for long. Patchouli and rose enter soon after, joined by orris and jasmine, and the heart becomes powdery and slightly floral with an earthy edge. The transition moves the fragrance from fresh to textured without losing its initial clarity.
The base brings benzoin, frankincense, and Tahitian vanilla together with white chocolate and musk. The result is an amber and musky drydown that feels warm and resinous rather than sugary. The white chocolate adds a soft creaminess that rounds the incense and vanilla, while the musk keeps the finish smooth. It suits cooler days and evening wear, and it fits someone who enjoys resinous amber with a floral heart. Those who prefer sharp, lean citrus without heavy base notes will find this too rich.
The powdery florals and resinous amber create a scent that smells like a velvet curtain in a room filled with burning frankincense.
