Fragrance notes
Character
Grapefruit and yuzu arrive with a sharp, cold brightness that feels like standing near a fountain in a hot courtyard. Black currant and pineapple add a rounded, jammy fruitiness that leans sweet rather than tart. Honeysuckle brings a soft, nectar-like quality that smooths the edges of the citrus. Myrtle sits quietly in the background with a faint green bitterness that keeps the opening from becoming a simple candy scent. Ambergris lends a salty, skin-like warmth that makes the fruit feel close to the body instead of floating in the air.
Night blooming jasmine unfolds with a heavy, intoxicating weight that suits a warm evening outdoors. Rose and iris provide a powdery, slightly dry floral heart that feels elegant and old-fashioned. Grapes introduce a juicy, dark sweetness that pairs with the cedar to create a woody fruit impression. The transition here is smooth, with the flowers never overwhelming the remaining brightness from the top notes.
Thailand oud enters with a deep, resinous smoke that feels rich and slightly animalic. Sandalwood and atlas cedar build a creamy, dry wood foundation that supports the amber. The amber glows with a golden, resinous heat that ties the woods and the earlier fruit together. There is a tension between the sweet, fruity opening and this dark, spiritual base that keeps the composition feeling complex and layered, with the animalic accord humming beneath the surface.
