The fragrance opens with a complex and slightly bitter-aromatic blend of wormwood, cardamom, pink pepper, and mandarin orange. Wormwood introduces a green, herbal bitterness, while cardamom and pink pepper add warm spice. Mandarin orange brings a subtle citrus brightness, creating a sharp, intriguing and unconventional opening.
In the heart, a dark and smoky floral-spicy composition unfolds with incense, clove, pepper, woodsy notes, jasmine, rose, and white flowers. Incense dominates with a deep resinous smokiness, while clove and pepper enhance the spicy intensity. The florals soften the composition, adding elegance without losing the dark and mysterious character.
The dry-down settles into a heavy and sensual base of leather, French labdanum, castoreum, styrax, oakmoss, and musk. Leather and castoreum bring an animalic depth, labdanum and styrax add balsamic richness, while oakmoss and musk create an earthy, long-lasting and powerful trail. The result is a dark, smoky and deeply luxurious fragrance with strong presence.
