Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Opens with a cool, slightly green iris that quickly pulls rose and jasmine into the heart — neither note dominates, keeping the floral accord soft and blurred rather than bold. Acacia adds a faint honeyed sweetness without tipping into gourmand territory, and the violet keeps everything just powdery enough to feel polished. The dry-down settles into white musk that sits close to skin, projecting modestly with light sillage throughout. Sheer and well-behaved, never loud — a warm-weather floral for understated occasions and offices.
Opens with a brief tartness from raspberry before saffron pulls it into warm, slightly medicinal territory. The heart is dense — oud and incense locked together in a smoky, resinous grip that feels genuinely dark without turning harsh. Labdanum and benzoin smooth the dry-down into something almost skin-like, while amberwood adds a soft, woody sweetness underneath. Projection is commanding in the first few hours, then settles into a rich, close-wearing sillage that lingers for the long haul — Made for cold nights, heavy coats, and anyone who wants their fragrance to announce something.
