Eye of the Vault

The first light of dawn is the starting point here. Cardamom opens with a cool, faintly sweet spice, and coconut softens it with a mellow roundness, so the start feels fresh without any hard edges.

Sandalwood follows, layering creamy wood that spreads slowly, like mist drifting over a sea of clouds. The mellowness of coconut and the smoothness of sandalwood meet naturally, which is one of the pleasures of this structure.

At the base, oud adds deep shadow, musk a soft closeness to skin, and benzoin a resinous sweetness. The name points to an image of stepping out of drowsiness and taking in a wide, open sky, a clear view from high above.
