What it smells like
The Scent File profile
Opens with a sharp, almost medicinal ginger-thyme bite that softens quickly into a dense honeyed myrrh core — the kind of thick, resinous sweetness that feels intentionally excessive. The heart leans gourmand-heavy, with vanilla and honey layering into something close to warm skin rather than dessert. Sandalwood anchors the dry-down, smoothing the edges into a soft, skin-close finish with moderate sillage that clings without broadcasting. Projection is strong for the first two hours, then intimate — a scent that pulls people in rather than announcing itself across the room. — Best worn on cool nights out; built for someone who wants warmth and quiet confidence, not subtlety.
