How It Evolves

Bold spices and resin greet you at first spray, quickly met by the creamy embrace of sandalwood and the smoky, leathery depth of Burmese oud. As the scent settles, lingering musks and rich vanilla create a smooth, long-lasting base with hints of sweet wood and balsamics.

Inspiration for When to Wear

Adds an air of sensual sophistication to formal evenings, chilly nights out, or intimate dinners.

Who Might Love This

A compelling choice for fans of deep, spicy-woody fragrances and anyone who enjoys the allure of fine sandalwood and oud.

Layering Suggestions

Pair this scent with smoky incense or a subtle vanilla for added opulence, or layer with a crisp citrus or herbal scent to lighten and refresh its resinous heart. Let contrast and harmony guide you, creating a personal signature layered with dimension.

Application Tips

Apply to warm pulse points—wrists, neck, and behind the ears—for a powerful diffusion. Two sprays are often enough for long-lasting impact, but a third on clothing can highlight the rich trail for an evening out. Enjoy making the application a mindful part of your ritual, savoring the transformation of the fragrance through the night.
