Fragrance notes
Character
Cardamom opens the composition with a bright, aromatic lift that feels crisp against the heavier elements waiting beneath. It provides a clear entry point that keeps the first impression from feeling too dense. The spice is present and noticeable, giving the fragrance a defined start before the other materials take over.
Cacao butter enters next, adding a smooth, creamy texture that pairs directly with the vanilla and amber accords. This heart note creates a rich middle that feels soft on the skin. The sweetness here is full and rounded, supported by the warm spicy character that carries over from the opening.
Tonka bean and oud form the foundation, joined by iris to introduce a powdery finish. The oud provides a deep, resinous weight while the iris adds a dry, floral contrast that prevents the base from becoming purely gourmand. The combination results in a scent that feels thick and enveloping.
The blend leans heavily into its sweet and powdery sides, which can become overwhelming for those who prefer lighter, airy compositions. The cacao butter and tonka bean create a richness that demands cooler air and quiet settings to avoid feeling excessive. It is a dense choice that lacks versatility across different moods.
