I.Metaphor
Fragrance notes
Character
I.Metaphor opens with a bright lemon note that is immediately sharpened by black pepper and cardamom. The spices provide a dry, piquant edge that keeps the citrus from feeling sweet or sunny. This opening feels crisp and aromatic, setting a clear tone that is both clean and assertive.
The heart introduces jasmine and iris, which soften the initial spice with a powdery, white floral character. Labdanum adds a resinous weight that bridges the gap toward the base. As the composition moves forward, the iris becomes more prominent, lending a rooty, slightly dusty elegance that mingles with the fading pepper.
Incense and oud form a dark, smoky foundation that anchors the entire fragrance. The amber accord wraps these heavy elements in a warm, resinous glow that feels dense and enveloping. The overall impression is a complex blend of warm spicy, citrus, and woody accords that creates a thick, aromatic haze reminiscent of walking through a room filled with burning frankincense and polished wood.
