Bergamot and neroli open with a clean, almost medicinal brightness before rose sweeps in to anchor the heart — not a soft rose, but a slightly dry, structured one that pushes against the oud without losing its shape. The oud here is restrained and smoky rather than barnyard-heavy, blending smoothly into sandalwood and amber as the dry-down settles into a warm, resinous skin scent. Projection is moderate, sillage intimate but persistent, leaving behind a musk-softened oriental warmth. — Best suited to cooler months, formal or evening settings, for someone who wants a grown, quietly complex signature.
