By the base, the praline has gone quiet and only the oud is left standing. Lavender and clary sage open herbal and cool, with bergamot keeping the first minutes bright. Saffron follows fast, metallic against a thick seam of praline. Underneath it all sits agarwood (oud) and cedar, polished rather than medicinal, which is what makes this one wearable to dinner. For the man who buys one bottle a year and finishes it. Cold-weather evenings where the dress code is stated. Hand-poured in small batches in Richardson, TX as an Extrait de Parfum with 30% fragrance oils versus the 15-20% typical of an Eau de Parfum, so a little goes a long way. Reach for it on award ceremonies, closing dinners, and moments that ask you to look the part. Made for our Fall selection.
