The composition is described as a dark, unconventional gourmand inspired by an eerie banquet scene, combining lush florals, rich spirits, and dense resins to create a dramatic and atmospheric scent profile. The opening pairs luminous jasmine sambac with a warm rum accord, setting a rich and slightly boozy tone. At the heart, osmanthus brings its characteristic apricot-like and subtly leathery nuances, bridging the transition to a dense, resinous base. The drydown rests on benzoin and tolu balsam, supported by tobacco and oud, resulting in a sweet-balsamic, smoky, and woody finish.
