Heart: Vanilla, Cypriol Oil (Nagarmotha), Labdanum
Base: Sandalwood, Patchouli, Cedar
This fragrance opens with a striking pairing of Damask rose and saffron, creating a warm, spicy, and slightly metallic floral burst. The rose feels rich and deep, while the saffron adds an exotic and luminous spice. As it moves into the heart, creamy vanilla and resinous labdanum blend with earthy cypriol, creating a warm, ambery core with hints of smoky and leathery facets. This stage feels velvety, warm, and gently exotic. In the dry‑down, smooth sandalwood merges with patchouli and cedar to create a woody, resinous foundation that adds depth and staying power. The overall result is an elegant, warm, spicy‑floral composition with soft sweetness and polished woods, offering both refinement and sensuality.
