About

Agarwood wraps you in a rich, opulent aroma of dark, polished woods, like antique furniture in a grand estate. It unfurls with a subtle hint of petitgrain, leading to a heart of warm spices, earthy oud, and a whisper of white floral jasmine. The drydown reveals a velvety base of tonka bean and vanilla, creating a smoothly linear and deeply comforting scent that exudes old-money charm.
