Here’s a breakdown of the notes and olfactory structure:

Top Notes:

• Saffron – Warm, spicy, and leathery. Adds a rich, almost medicinal nuance.

• Jasmine – Sweet, floral, and slightly animalic. Balances the saffron with lightness and brightness.

Middle (Heart) Notes:

• Amberwood – A powerful synthetic woody-amber note. Warm, rich, and slightly resinous. Gives the fragrance much of its long-lasting character.

• Ambergris (or Ambroxan) – Salty, mineral, and skin-like. Adds a musky, sensual touch and helps amplify projection.

Base Notes:

• Fir Resin – Adds a piney, slightly balsamic depth.

• Cedarwood – Dry, woody, and grounding. Complements the amber and resin for a lingering base.

Overall Character:

• Sweet but not gourmand – The sweetness comes from the amber and jasmine, but it's balanced by woody and spicy elements.

• Warm & Radiant – Often described as glowing or luminous, like heated metal or sun-warmed skin.

• Airy yet Intense – Despite its richness, it maintains an airy quality, which makes it intriguing and hard to imitate.

Longevity & Sillage:

• Very long-lasting – 8+ hours easily, often more.

• Strong projection and sillage – People can often smell it from across a room. A little goes a long way.
