Performance & Scent Profile
Opening: Spicy and rich—saffron and nutmeg shine, black pepper adds bite, bergamot gives a citrus touch.
Heart: The woods and balsam (patchouli, sandalwood, cedar, gurjan) bring warm texture and depth. Labdanum and iris add a resinous and slightly powdery nuance.
Dry Down: Leather and oud dominate, smoothed by woods. The base is bold yet polished.
Projection & Longevity: Strong early projection; longevity is solid—many report lasting power of 8+ hours or more on clothes. Fragrantica+2Reddit+2
Overall Vibe: A modern designer oud that leans into spicy, woody, and leather facets while retaining some luxury “gold” brightness.
