<p><b>What it is</b>: A woody fragrance evoking the many legends of the ancient Silk Road journey from China to Arabia.</p><p><b>Fragrance story</b>: A blazing thrust of pink pepper and nutmeg studs an aromatic and camphoraceous bouquet of myrtle and cardamom colored by a suave touch of saffron, cumin and the citrusy tang of mace. While a geranium, bursting with floral greenness, continues the clean and sparkly opening, the honeyed, bittersweet myrrh preludes the dark and sonorous complexity of the woody base. The animalistic intensity of musk and castoreum responds to that of a barely tanned leather. Between luminous strands of cedarwood and frankincense, sandalwood whispers its milky sweetness before being eclipsed by splendid and masterful, imposing and tenebrous imperial oud.</p><p><b>Style</b>: Woody, amber.</p><p><b>Notes</b>:</p><p>- Top: pink pepper berry essence, frankincense, cumin, cardamom essence, saffron, mace essence, nutmeg, myrtle essence</p><p>- Middle: geranium essence, myrrh essence</p><p>- Base: oud, sandalwood, patchouli, leather, frankincense, cedarwood, musk, castoreum</p>
