This scent opens with a luminous yet mysterious burst of frankincense, setting a resinous tone that is instantly elevated by the sparkling freshness of lemon and bergamot. Warm cardamom and elemi add a smooth, aromatic depth, while Sichuan pepper introduces a subtle, tingling spice that energizes the opening.
As the fragrance unfolds, the heart reveals a complex, exotic blend of spices, florals, and earthiness. Patchouli anchors the composition with its rich, earthy character, enhanced by the warm spice of coriander, anise, cumin, and saffron. Hints of wormwood add a slightly bitter, herbal edge, beautifully balanced by the soft floral elegance of orange blossom, geranium, and rose, creating a heart that is both bold and refined.
The base is deep, sensual, and long-lasting. Sacred frankincense returns, layered with creamy vanilla, sweet benzoin, and glowing amber. Dark, smoky oud and birch lend a resinous, leathery depth, while opoponax and labdanumenhance the balsamic richness. Touches of ambergris and musk provide a warm, skin-like finish, subtly sweetened by maltol, leaving a smooth, addictive trail.
