A modern oriental-woody fragrance built around an agarwood accord with a distinctly urban, Parisian signature. Warm, structured, and confident in character, the composition is guided by spice and incense rather than sweetness, creating a refined and self-assured presence.
The opening introduces a dry, spicy tension led by saffron and ginger, with an added nuance of cinnamon enhancing the initial impression. This controlled start transitions into a heart of green, resinous clarity, where galbanum is supported by the clean, firm woodiness of cedarwood, reinforcing structure and precision.
In the base, the agarwood accord is paired with incense and musk, forming a smooth, smoky depth with a composed, lingering finish. The musky layer maintains cohesion and balance, ensuring the fragrance remains elegant and confident without feeling heavy.
