How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Sandalwood
Sandalwood, sourced from the heartwood of trees native to India and Indonesia, carries a rich, creamy aroma that is both smooth and slightly sweet. Its scent is often described as warm and woody, with a powdery undertone that adds depth and complexity to any composition.
Opoponax
Opoponax is an enigmatic resin extracted from the roots of the Commiphora erythraea tree, native to East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Its aroma is complex, with notes reminiscent of incense, myrrh, and a subtle sweetness that evokes caramel or molasses, making it a cornerstone in perfumery for its depth and warmth.
Musk
Musk, once sourced from the musk deer and now often recreated synthetically, offers an earthy, slightly sweet aroma reminiscent of skin. Its versatility allows it to blend seamlessly into various fragrance families, from oriental to woody, enhancing their depth without overpowering them.
