Description

About

An opulent and deeply atmospheric composition that evokes an exotic caravan journey through rich textures. Bright citrus and dry, aromatic herbs introduce a warm, spice-laden heart, shifting into a dramatic base of smooth leather, dense resins, and dark oud.
No. 186 combines saffron, cardamom, artemisia, and bright citrus with cypress leaf in its opening. Rose, jasmine, and nutmeg add floral and spicy detail, while oud, leather, sandalwood, amber, and vanilla create a dense woody base. It balances aromatic freshness with warm spice, florals, and darker leathery woods.
