About

Foudroyant opens with a dry, almost pencil-shaving cedar, quickly deepening into a warm, resinous heart of labdanum and tolu balsam. This creates a rich, powdery amber glow. A delicate, almost medicinal oud underpins the composition, adding a touch of dark complexity without ever dominating, culminating in a smooth, sweet, balsamic finish.
