What it smells like

The Scent File profile

Opens with a soft, spiced warmth — cardamom lifting the rosewood into something almost edible before the oud arrives. And this oud is polished, not barnyard: smooth, slightly smoky, more boardroom than bazaar. The heart settles into a clean wood accord where sandalwood and rosewood blend seamlessly, with vetiver grounding it from beneath. Dry-down is amber-rich and skin-close, leaving a quiet, persistent sillage that lasts for hours without announcing itself. Projection is moderate and intimate rather than room-filling — a fragrance built for proximity. — Fall and winter evenings, anyone who wants sophisticated warmth without heaviness.
