The top notes are rum absolute, osmanthus absolute and black pepper, so sweetness and spice arrive together. In the heart, damask rose and damask rose water carry the floral side. The base brings patchouli, tobacco absolute and cistus, while frankincense and Virginia cedar settle the scent onto a woody, smoky, leathery ground. A powdery softness runs through the blend.
It reads as unisex rather than leaning to one side. Parfum d'Empire Cuir Ottoman and Papillon Artisan Perfumes Angélique have a close profile.
