Composition

Top

Bergamot opens on a citrus fruit that is sweet and fresh. Pepper brings a dry spice, tinged with herbaceousness. Olibanum joins the opening with a woody, mineral and spicy material.

Heart

At the heart tier, rose takes on a warm, honeyed, almost waxy turn. Vetiver brings out a woody, smoky and earthy root; sandalwood, a velvety and warm wood; papyrus, a vegetal dryness that evokes old paper.

Base

Saffron here takes on leathery and tar-like accents. Suede combines musk, wood and an animalic touch. Akigalawood® brings a peppery wood with patchouli accents.

Amber and wood

The amber classification finds support in the warmth of saffron, suede and honeyed rose, enveloping registers that characterize ambers. The woody facet comes through vetiver, sandalwood, Akigalawood® and olibanum, which give the accord a dry, smoky structure.
