What it smells like

The Scent File profile

Opens with a dense, almost edible rush of vanilla and sugar before Turkish rose softens the sweetness into something more complex and worn-skin intimate. Incense arrives in the heart to add smoke and shadow, keeping it from veering fully gourmand, while oud grounds the dry-down with a woody resinous depth that extends the sillage for hours. Projection is bold in the first two hours, then settles into a close, enveloping warmth that lingers without announcing itself — a cold-weather fragrance for anyone who wants something equally sensual and serious.
