XJ 1861's tribute to Rome, a baroque alchemy by Mathieu Nardin. Elemi resin, white wine, artemisia and bergamot open onto cardamom, cinnamon, carnation and iris, over incense, woods, amber and thick honey — seductive smoke and spice for the eternal city.
Scent story
To me this smells like elemi resin, white wine, artemisia and bergamot — a baroque alchemy for Rome, strange and seductive. Cardamom, cinnamon, carnation and iris spice the heart into golden warmth. Incense, woods, amber and thick honey melt the base into smoky, spiced depth. It is Mathieu Nardin's tribute to the eternal city: seductive smoke and spice. Beginner-friendly — a rich, honeyed spice, easy to sink into.
