Velvet pear and toasted hazelnut drying into dry, resonant woods
It opens with the crisp, cooling bite of pear and saffron, quickly anchored by a warm, buttery hazelnut heart. The transition is fluid, moving from fruit into a dense floral axis of osmanthus, jasmine sambac, and rose. Beneath these, frankincense and cistus provide a resinous smoke that sits within a structure of dry sandalwood and akigalawood. The result is a powder-soft, woody trail that grips the skin and projects with precision, refusing to evaporate in the heat. It is a calculated, layered presence that lingers on textiles for days.
