About

Opens with a peppery punch and a bright bergamot zest, quickly settling into a robust heart of jammy rose, earthy tea, and spicy saffron, underscored by aromatic juniper. The base unfurls a rich tapestry of leathery castoreum and oud, smoky birch, and balsamic labdanum, all softened by a hint of vanilla. A truly complex, woody rose that feels both ancient and utterly modern.
