The warm and grasping aromas of the Middle East are stunningly communicated in this scent through a warm and woody accord. The head note opens with a mix of red thyme and violet leaves that add a sensitive newness to the general creation. The brilliant flavor of saffron lights the heart note and, joined with freesia and the glow of cedarwood, blasts forward into the lively and serious golden, musky, and woody agreements of incense, white musk, and calfskin. This is both a special and grasping aroma.
