Scent Journey
The first 30 minutes are a high-definition explosion of tart raspberry and crisp apple, immediately grounded by a sharp, metallic saffron. It feels electric and expensive, with the pink pepper providing a modern, buzzy lift.
As the fruit recedes, the heart reveals a massive, buttery leather accord. Unlike rougher tanneries, this is softened by magnolia petals and geranium, giving it a sophisticated, floral-suede texture that feels expansive.
After 4 hours, the fragrance enters its true power phase. The Cambodian Oud emerges—rich, slightly animalic, and deeply resinous—intertwined with amber and labdanum. It settles into a smoky, wood-heavy finish that clings to the skin for a full day.
Performance Dashboard
10+ hours; this is a pure perfume concentration that survives showers and stays on clothing for weeks.
Heavy; a 2-3 spray application is enough to fill a large living space. It is exceptionally potent.
Strong; it creates a noticeable trail that lingers in the air long after you have left the room.
