Fragrance notes
The raspberry opening is light and disappears fast, leaving the rest of the composition to carry the weight early. It does not anchor the fragrance the way a deeper fruit note might, so the first impression feels brief and slightly unbalanced before the heart even arrives.
Incense and resins move in once the top note fades. The resins add a thick, sticky texture that leans balsamic, while the incense brings a dry, smoky edge. Together they create a warm spicy character that feels dense and slightly heavy on the skin.
Oud forms the base and dominates the drydown. It is woody and dark, pushing the scent further into amber territory. The sweetness from the raspberry lingers faintly in the background, but the oud and resins make the overall impression bold and intense rather than playful.
This fragrance suits cooler weather and evening wear. It is best for people who enjoy heavy oriental woods and smoky resins. Those who prefer fresh, clean scents or light florals will likely find it overwhelming. The profile settles on oud, smoky, amber, and warm spicy accords.
