The notes are not split into top, heart and base, so it reads as one dense whole. Resinous copal and opoponax are softened by vanilla absolute and benzoin, while jasmine sambac and frangipani add a floral, creamy layer. Thai and Cambodian oud, leathery notes, gaiac wood and spices give it a smoky, woody darkness. Crete labdanum and ambergris tie this heavy texture together with an oriental warmth. Armani Privé Cuir Noir and Stéphane Humbert Lucas Crying of Evil have a close profile.
