Notes, explained
Opening
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
Heart
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
Dry-down
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
