The opening is led by spice and citrus: pink pepper and black pepper give a sharp warmth while grapefruit keeps it fresh. The heart brings frankincense and magnolia, the first slightly smoky, the second adding a soft floral touch. In the dry-down, sandalwood, patchouli and cedar take over, leaving a woody, lightly sweet and oriental trail. The overall impression is fresh, spicy and woody in balance, with fruity and gourmand shades staying in the background.
