A refined and regal fragrance that blends warm spices, lush florals, and deep woody notes into a harmonious, layered composition. The core of rose and oud is elevated by aldehydes, citrus, and aromatic green notes, creating a smooth, aristocratic aura. It performs well with both strong sillage and impressive longevity, making it ideal for evening wear and formal occasions. The fragrance is balanced and nuanced—characterized by a quiet intensity rather than aggression—offering a sensual yet refined presence that lingers well past 12 hours. It unfolds slowly, revealing its complexity with each wear, and garners admiration in quiet, upscale settings. The scent is unisex in approach, though many note its strong floral presence, which can feel distinctly feminine to some. Others describe it as having a modern, tailored elegance—ideal for those seeking a classically masculine yet subtly floral alternative to traditional oud fragrances. Its performance is consistently praised, with the ability to leave a lasting, commodious impression without being overpowering. The olfactory journey is dynamic and refined, showcasing equal prominence among its notes. There is no dominating single element; instead, a symphony of green, citrus, rose, and spice unfolds with smoothness and balance. It is not a loud or aggressive fragrance but a quietly commanding one—best suited for those who appreciate depth, subtlety, and architectural complexity in scent.
