Top Notes
Pink Pepper · Rose · Saffron
Heart Notes
Labdanum · Vetiver
Base Notes
Agarwood · Sandalwood
The first impression is boldly aromatic: rose and saffron dance with pink pepper, creating a warm, slightly spiced opening that feels both familiar and refined. The powdery richness settles immediately, inviting closer inspection without overwhelming the senses.
What follows is a graceful transition into vetiver and labdanum, where the fragrance deepens and mellows. Earthy vetiver anchors the composition while labdanum adds a subtle sweetness—the heart of a fragrance built in the same style as its inspiration, balancing green minerality with amber warmth.
The base reveals the true character: agarwood and Laotian oud create a woody, resinous foundation that lingers as a warm skin-level presence for 6–8 hours. Sandalwood softens the edges, ensuring this amber spicy creation remains clean and quietly sensual, with noticeable sillage that performs beautifully in mild to warm climates.
