Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
The first 0-30 minutes are a bold, smoky burst of oud and saffron, with a sharp citrus edge from bergamot. It's intense and slightly animalic, demanding your full attention.
After an hour, the heart emerges with geranium and jasmine adding a floral sweetness, while cardamom and rice bring a soft, creamy spiciness. The leather note starts to develop, creating a rich, textured blend.
Four hours in, the base takes over: a smooth, resinous oud paired with supple leather, earthy patchouli, creamy sandalwood, and a warm musk. The scent becomes more intimate and sophisticated, lingering for hours.
