It announces itself with a sharp, regal jasmine and lily of the valley, quickly grounded by the powdery weight of orris. This is not a subtle scent; it shifts from a bright, spicy floral opening into a dark, resinous core of frankincense and myrrh.

It possesses immense staying power, haunting the fabric of a thobe long after the initial spray has faded into a deep, amber-musk shadow.
