The fragrance opens with saffron and jasmine, creating an initial burst of brightness before diving into richer accords like oud, patchouli, and metallic nuances.

Application Tips
Anguish has a strong presence from the outset but takes time to fully unfold. Apply two sprays on pulse points for a balanced blend of its top notes and deeper base accords. The metallic and woody undertones make it ideal for cooler evenings, where the scent’s warmth can envelop you as temperatures drop.

The story behind the bottle.
The quiet intensity of an old archive room, where saffron and jasmine mingle with the scent of aged parchment and polished wood, creating a space that feels both ancient and lasting.
