Scent Journey

1. Opening (0–15 min): Bold and spicy — a vibrant punch of pink pepper and saffron rides atop smoky frankincense and earthy cumin.
2. Mid (15 min–3 hrs): A resinous heart surfaces—smoky myrrh and incense weave with a subtle hint of green geranium and dry tea-like facets  .
3. Dry‑Down (3+ hrs): Creamy woods anchor the composition, as oud, leather, patchouli, and musk linger, tempered by sandalwood warmth  .

Performance & Wearability

• Projection: Strong at unwinding, tapering to a close sillage after a few hours—never shrill but confidently present  .
• Best Seasons: Fall and winter are prime, though its spicy-woody theme suits evening and formal occasions year‑round .
