About

It begins with a vibrant burst of fresh bergamot and spearmint, tinged with the nuanced herbal-minty facets of hinoki wood. Soon, rich florals emerge, primarily rose and orange blossom, warmed by a hint of nutmeg and smooth coffee. The dry down is a masterclass in smoky, resinous woods, with pronounced oud, tobacco, and the sacred duo of myrrh and frankincense, anchored by earthy patchouli.
