Fragrance notes
Character
Rum and raspberry greet the nose first, a dark fruit dipped in sugar and spirit. Saffron sits beside them, metallic and expensive, turning the bright opening into something heavier. Thyme cuts through with a green, Mediterranean edge that keeps the sweetness from becoming a flat candy smell.
Frankincense and myrrh bring a resinous church air, dry and slightly dusty. Jasmine adds a floral lift that feels out of place until the Indian spices wrap around it, creating a warm, woven fabric of heat. Cedar and oud ground the mixture, offering a woody backbone that feels carved rather than chopped. Leather arrives quietly, smooth and polished like an old chair.
Amber ties the resins to the wood, glowing without shining. Bergamot flickers at the base, a cold spark in a hot room. The air smells of polished wood, heated stone, and a glass of spiced spirit held near a fireplace while the sky outside is black and the windows are fogged with condensation.
