Bois d'Aksum
Fragrance notes
Character
Bois d'Aksum opens with a sharp bite of leather that meets bright bergamot and mandarin orange. Cinnamon and apple add a warm, fruity lift that keeps the initial impression from feeling too severe. The leather remains present as the scent develops, but it softens as the heart emerges.
Orris and jasmine bring a powdery, white floral character that sits comfortably against the resinous elemi. The iris quality from the orris is prominent here, giving the fragrance a refined, slightly earthy texture. Beneath this layer, the base begins to show its weight with praline and amber creating a distinct sweetness.
Cedar, vetiver, and patchouli provide a woody foundation that anchors the sweeter elements. Oakmoss and musk add a deep, animalic touch that complements the smoky atmosphere of the blend. Tonka bean rounds out the profile with a rich warmth suited for cool air and dim lighting. The composition settles into a heavy, sweet amber.
