It opens with Colombian coffee, Bourbon vanilla and French vanilla, giving a sweet, gourmand start. In the heart, cypress and fir needle add a resinous, needle-green coolness that dries the sweetness a little. The base of myrrh, sandalwood, labdanum and amber settles into a spicy, smoky, oriental warmth.
