RULE OF 72

That saffron and geranium opening is surprisingly soft before the Thai oud kicks in with real presence. The leather note gives it a bit of an edge that makes it feel less like a typical designer scent and more like something crafted. Lasts most of my workday on skin, which is better than I expected.

The creamy guaiac wood really grounds the saffron and geranium beautifully, so it never veers too sweet. I’ve worn it on three different days now and the Thai oud stays close to the skin but lingers for hours. It’s sharp and elegant without being shouty, exactly what I wanted.

The creamy guaiac wood is what got me—it smooths out the oud's wild edge into something I can wear to the office without second thoughts. The leather note lingers for hours on my skin, and I keep catching whiffs of it midday. Definitely a full bottle for me.
