"The perfume starts out sharp, pungent, chypre, some vibrant bergamot, geranium or lemon blended with aldehydes comes along, then made spicy with herbs layered over lots of oakmoss, galbanum and styrax , then comes some heady and powdery ambergris mixed with sandalwood, myrrh and frankincense, the sweetness of benzoin or vanilla, indolic jasmine, then roses dripping with honey and the animalic civet and musk form a wonderful well rounded base. The smoky dry down is completely intoxicating and made heavy by the unabashed use of the ambergris and woods like patchouli and sandalwood."
