About

Gaiac opens with a faint kiss of bergamot, quickly giving way to a warm embrace of creamy guaiac wood and a soft whisper of jasmine. Cloves add a subtle, festive spice, evoking a sense of tranquil elegance. It settles into a luxurious base of amber and vanilla, creating a smoothly blended, lightly smoky, and naturally sweet woods experience that's never cloying.
