Rose opens things up with a soft, almost soapy violet accord cushioning it from beneath — this is floral in a plush, upholstered way, not a garden way. The oud arrives in the heart as smooth and dark wood rather than barn-animalic, lending depth without aggression. Dry-down is where it earns its reputation: benzoin and vanilla pull everything into a warm, resinous skin scent with serious staying power and a sillage that announces without overwhelming. — Best worn in cold weather by anyone who wants a luxurious, date-night oriental that reads both polished and intimate.
