A short list, held for a long time. Saffron opens it, incense sits in the middle, and dry amber and musk carry the rest. There is no fruit and no flower in it, so what you smell an hour in is close to what you smelled at the start, only warmer and closer to the skin.

Notes. Top: saffron. Heart: incense. Base: amber, musk.
