Our take

Lavender opens the experience with a cool, brief breeze that quickly yields to the heat of saffron and black pepper. Rose and ylang-ylang add a floral weight that feels grounded by the damp earthiness of vetiver. The tuberose is present but restrained, allowing the oud to sit comfortably in the center of the composition without dominating every breath.

The heart rests on a foundation of sandalwood and patchouli, materials that hold the spices close to the skin while sending a clear signal to the space around you. Myrrh and incense twist through the drydown, creating a resinous path that follows you through a crisp afternoon walk among bare trees. Tonka bean smooths the sharper edges of the pepper, giving the wear a gentle sweetness that lingers in the air you leave behind.

The blend feels like a heavy wool coat hanging in a room filled with burning resins and cut wood. It carries a distinct warmth that suits a quiet street under a grey sky. The scent settles into the fabric of a scarf, releasing waves of amber and smoke as the day moves forward. You are standing in a stone courtyard while dried leaves scatter across the ground.
