The story

Steam, spice and sandalwood.

Saffron and cumin open warm and faintly savoury, like spice sacks in a storehouse. Iris and gurjun balsam bridge into the sandalwood, powdery and resinous. Siam benzoin makes the base creamy and soft, cedarwood keeping it dry. Comforting rather than exotic.

How it wears

Top notes greet you, the heart settles in over the first hour, and the base is what stays on skin at the end of the evening.
