Composition
Released in 2012, inspired by Julius Caesar's Veni, vidi, vici. Cardamom, cinnamon, lavender and galbanum open into saffron, guaiac wood and tagetes, over ambergris, caramel, vanilla, benzoin, patchouli, musk and oakmoss. Opulent, spicy and triumphant.
To me this smells like a Venetian spice merchant's counting room after the ships come in — cardamom pods split open on a desk, cinnamon quills stacked like firewood, lavender and galbanum green against the dark wood. Then saffron blooms over guaiac wood, oily and intoxicating, like a coin with a strange new face. The dry-down is pure indulgence: ambergris salty and animal, caramel melting over vanilla and benzoin, patchouli and oakmoss grounding it in earth. It is decadence without chaos — every note knows its place in the ledger, and the total is enormous. You do not wear this casually; you wear it like armor. Not for beginners — beginners stay away.
