Regalien Agora: Golden Horn Extrait

Description

Agora: Golden Horn is Honorine Blanc's ode to Istanbul as a crossroads of empire, part of Regalien's 2026 Hidden Origins Collection (alongside Aurora: Halfeti Dark). It opens on bergamot, Guatemalan cardamom, saffron and black pepper, evoking the Grand Bazaar's spice-laden air, before frankincense, nagarmotha and pimento seeds stir in incense-tinged smoke, settling into bourbon vanilla, guaiac wood, praline, Virginia cedar, Spanish labdanum, Haitian vetiver and sandalwood.

Scent Character

Accord: Woody

Translation: a resinous, smoky-woody amber composition. The base's guaiac wood and labdanum drive a genuine smoky-resinous character rather than literal agarwood, since there's no oud note in the pyramid.
