Composition
From Kilian's L'Oeuvre Noire collection by Calice Becker: a honeyed, smoky oriental built like an aphrodisiac. Bergamot, cardamom, nutmeg, chamomile, coriander and raspberry open into cedarwood, patchouli, oakmoss, vetiver, olibanum and honey, drying down to amber, labdanum, vanilla and almond.
To me this is honey poured over a campfire. Bergamot, cardamom and raspberry open bright and strange, then cedarwood, patchouli, oakmoss, vetiver and olibanum build a smoky, resinous heart, with honey dripping golden through it all. Amber, labdanum, vanilla and almond in the base make the dry-down thick and narcotic. It was built like an aphrodisiac and it smells like one: dark, sweet, smoky, unapologetic. The smoke alone puts it out of beginner territory, this is a perfume with intent. Not for beginners — beginners stay away.
