The ylang-ylang is what got me—it’s sweet and almost creamy, cutting through the sharper artemisia in a way that feels really balanced. I’ve worn it for a few days now and the dry-down stays warm without being heavy, which is exactly what I wanted.

The cinnamon and frankincense hit first, bold and resinous, but the ylang-ylang softens everything into something almost creamy. I keep catching whiffs hours later and it’s changed character each time, which is exactly what I want from a parfum.

Frankincense and cinnamon give this an almost sacred warmth that lasts hours on my skin, and the ylang-ylang keeps it from feeling heavy. I keep catching whiffs of that white artemisia in the dry-down, which is oddly addictive.
