It's a gourmand-leaning amber at its core — sweet accounts for well over half the composition — with the resinous olibanum giving it warmth rather than any actual oud material.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eScent Character\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSweet\u003c\/strong\u003e — 57%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eResinous \u0026amp; Balsamic\u003c\/strong\u003e — 29%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWoody\u003c\/strong\u003e — 14%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNo agarwood or oud note appears anywhere in the pyramid (olibanum is frankincense, a resin, not oud) — so we've labeled that share \"Resinous \u0026amp; Balsamic\" rather than \"Oud.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTranslation:\u003c\/em\u003e A gourmand amber built on coffee, caramel, and Peru balsam — sweet-resinous rather than woody or oud-driven, despite what a raw accord label might suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFragrance Pyramid\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Olibanum\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart:\u003c\/strong\u003e Coffee, Patchouli, Caramel\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peru Balsam, Ambrette (Musk Mallow), Musk, Vanilla, Amber\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eLongevity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long-lasting — roughly 7-9 hours on skin.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSillage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate-to-strong for the first hour or two, then settles to an arm's-length trail.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eBest Occasions \u0026amp; Season\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fall, Winter\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOccasions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evening, Special Occasion\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGender:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unisex\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eConcentration \u0026amp; Provenance\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConcentration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extrait de Parfum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfumer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Harry Sherwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHouse:\u003c\/strong\u003e British niche house Memoirs Of A Perfume Collector, London\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2022\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eTry Before You Commit\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eNot ready to commit to the full bottle?
