Moments wraps rum, cognac, and vanilla around a core of oak, cedar, and sandalwood. Myrrh, labdanum, and oud add a resinous weight, while ylang-ylang and black elder bring a yellow floral softness that keeps the blend from turning purely into a wood pile.

It asks for a mood that moves slowly, where the warmth of the room and the depth of the blend become the only
