Warm, resinous, spicy, sweet, and powdery amber contrasts with dry, clean, sharp aromatics. Beautifully balanced and complex, powerful yet inviting. The scent opens straight into its amber accord formed by labdanum and myrrh. Cumin lends itself both to the spicy accord and smoke of the labdanum, binding together the sweet to the heat. The spicy contrast supports the amber, accentuating and adding a new dimension the the sweetness, similar to the effect of sea salt on caramel.
