Fragrance notes
Character
Galbanum and lemon open the composition with a brisk, green edge that feels like sunlight hitting a damp garden path. The sharpness is immediate and bright. Black pepper and cardamom enter quickly, adding a rough, cracked texture to the citrus. Tuberose and saffron sit in the heart, but they do not dominate. The white floral aspect stays restrained, allowing the coriander and spice to guide the direction. It is a complex mix that shifts constantly, moving from sharp to dusty and then to rich within a short span. The initial impression is one of movement and contrast rather than a single steady mood.
The base reveals myrrh, frankincense, and benzoin, creating a thick resinous foundation that feels heavy and sacred. Oud and sandalwood provide a dry, woody backbone that supports the sticky amber notes. Rose appears here, soft and dark, blending into the balsamic smoke rather than standing out as a fresh flower. The combination of frankincense and oud creates a scent profile reminiscent of walking into a stone chapel where the air is thick with melted wax and polished wood. The air smells of heated resin and ancient timber, a space filled with warm, golden smoke and the quiet weight of stone walls.
