A spice market after dark. Cinnamon and nutmeg flare first, then smoky frankincense and oud take over. Dark and full-on, for cold evenings, and inspired by Bvlgari Falkar.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Its nuclear performance and intense, animalic leather accord make it utterly unsuitable for office or casual wear, as it will overpower any small space. This scent is best reserved for formal events or special occasions where its luxurious depth can shine without overwhelming others.
Seasons
Oud, saffron and warm spice make winter its best season, with autumn close behind. Spring and summer are too light for it.
Occasions
Given its strong, warm spicy and woody accords, this scent isn't ideal for the office. It excels in date settings or evening wear where its luxurious depth can be appreciated without overpowering. Too heavy for casual or sport wear.
