The opening leans on saffron and cardamom, then a turkish rose and agarwood (oud) accord takes over within the first hour. The dry-down settles on patchouli, amberwood, and suede, giving the composition its lasting character. Wears across seasons without obvious peaks. Verdict: a solid mid-tier pick with broad appeal at 3.7/5.
