About This Fragrance
Drawing conceptual inspiration from a star in the constellation Leo and the ancient trade of frankincense and myrrh, this composition highlights deep resinous materials alongside precious woods. The perfume brings together an array of regional botanicals and traditional aromatics into a focused and intricate structure.
Scent Profile
The composition opens with a contrast of tart Brazilian orange against earthy Sicilian saffron, herbal davana, and a sharp prickle of black pepper. The heart deepens substantially into a dark, resinous core where Jordanian myrrh and Omani frankincense interlock with smoky Cambodian oud, Texas cedarwood, and earthy Indian cypriol. Granada nutmeg adds dry warmth, while Indian sambac jasmine introduces a dense floral facet that cuts through the surrounding resins. As the scent settles, a smooth base of Australian sandalwood and ambergris anchors the profile, rounded by rich Madagascar vanilla and balsamic benzoin.
Who It's For & When to Wear It
Its rich resinous texture and warm spiced woods make it especially suited for evening wear and formal settings when a substantial balsamic character is desired.
