The notes have no top, heart and base split; the scent reads as a single whole. Leather and Assam oud give it a dry, animal, earthy weight. Bulgarian rose and iris add a soft, green floral side, while bergamot and white pepper bring a spicy lift. Ambergris rounds off the oriental warmth.
The character is dark and woody, and it sits comfortably on both men and women. It shares a close profile with Dior Diorling (2012) and Carolina Herrera Nightfall Patchouli.
