Spice first: saffron, nutmeg and ginger, with no citrus to lighten it. Patchouli and agarwood make the middle, and agarwood stays into the base alongside musk, with a little bergamot late on. Dry and resinous rather than sweet.

Notes. Top: saffron, nutmeg, ginger. Heart: patchouli, agarwood. Base: bergamot, agarwood, musk.
