What it smells like

The Scent File profile

Opens with a bright bergamot that quickly gives way to a cool, slightly powdery iris sitting over a clean, resinous oud — not the barnyard kind, but polished and smooth. The heart balances the woody dryness of oud against the floral iris without either dominating. The dry-down turns warmer as sandalwood and amber soften everything into a creamy, skin-close finish, with musk extending the sillage quietly but persistently. Projection is moderate-to-strong in the first few hours, then settles intimate — a composed, wearable oriental that doesn't overwhelm — best worn in fall and winter evenings by someone who wants oud without the challenge.
