About

Levantium opens with an assertive blast of wormwood, saffron, and bergamot, hinting at its absinthe-like character. Soon, a rich, warm spicy heart emerges, featuring rose, ylang-ylang, cardamom, and a touch of peach, adding a subtle floral sweetness that quickly mellows. The drydown unveils a deep, woody-oud core, intertwined with earthy patchouli and amber, maintaining a consistent warmth with a hint of powdery richness at the very end.
