Riserva IX
Fragrance notes
Character
The oud here does not hide in the background, and that is the one point where the composition loses some wearers. Its resinous weight arrives early and stays firm, which can feel heavy on skin that prefers something airier. If you want a light citrus that fades into nothing, this is not it.
Bergamot and petitgrain open the scent with a clean, green citrus that feels cut with fresh air. Lily and ylang-ylang follow, softening the start with a white and yellow floral heart that feels rounded rather than sharp. The flowers keep the resin from becoming too dry on their own.
Amyris and cypress anchor that heart with a woody depth that carries through the evening. The leather adds a smooth, slightly balsamic edge that makes the whole blend feel suited to a dim room and a slow dinner among friends. The scent stays present without shouting across the space.
This is a fragrance for someone who wants wood and flower in equal measure, and the resin gives it a reason to stay with you through a cool night. The spicy greens keep it from feeling dated or overly formal. It belongs on skin that can hold something balsamic and deep. Oud.
