This is an opulent, deeply layered fragrance that opens with the exotic smokiness of the highly regarded Sultan Qaboos Bakhoor, which I created an Absolute from, brightened by the golden warmth of Indian Saffron and grounded in creamy Sandalwood. The top notes immediately establish a sense of luxury and mystique.

The heart reveals a rich tapestry of aged Mukhalat blended with the buttery smoothness of Mysore Sandalwood, while Isparta Rose adds a touch of floral elegance and Indonesian Patchouli contributes an earthy, slightly sweet depth. These middle notes create a complex, ambery rich core that evolves beautifully on the skin.

 The base is profoundly resinous, anchored by the intense, haunting character of Papuan Oud Resin and the rare slightly aquatic-woody nuances of Gaharu Buaya. A custom Indonesian tincture of Vanilla, Patchouli, and Sandalwood adds honeyed warmth, while Indian Tobacco Absolute brings a dry, leathery sophistication. Birch Tar introduces a subtle smokiness that ties the entire composition together, creating a fragrance that is both ancient and timeless, —a scent for those who appreciate the art of traditional perfumery and the rarest materials the world has to offer.
