Rose and amber with the oud kept deliberately low.
Aldehydes, bergamot, orange absolute and cardamom lift the opening, rose, magnolia, orchid, pimento, bay and cinnamon build a spiced heart, and labdanum, vetiver, ambergris and a restrained oudh hold the base.
Perfumed by: Geza Schoen
KSI Take: Oud is shading here rather than the headline, which is precisely why this works where louder oud roses do not. Brooding and slow to open, so judge it on skin across a few hours instead of on a paper strip.
