About

Ablaze kicks off with a spirited, spicy-citrus burst of pepper, nutmeg, cardamom, and zesty bergamot, quickly moving into a heart of rich rose and jasmine, intertwined with the woody depth of guaiac wood and cedar. The base settles into a luxurious suede and amber embrace, grounded by earthy patchouli and oakmoss. It's a complex blend that balances warmth with an intriguing green, almost smoky edge.
