Scent Journey
The fragrance opens with a sharp, bright burst of orange tempered by the dry, aromatic heat of nutmeg. The jasmine provides a brief floral veil, but it is quickly overtaken by the spicier elements.
After approximately 30 minutes, the heart reveals a smoky, resinous core. Saffron adds a leathery texture, while incense and oud provide a dark, slightly metallic woodiness that defines the scent's character.
In the final stage, the fragrance settles into a deeply earthy base. Patchouli and oakmoss create a damp, forest-floor effect, while vetiver adds a persistent, clean woodiness that lasts until the end.
