Cristal & Gold Man
aldehydes · honey · frankincense
Cristal & Gold Man opens on aldehydes, honey and bright bergamot, then its heart of damask rose and jasmine wraps itself in orris. The base turns more animalic, blending civet, ambergris and patchouli over a woody vetiver. Wear it on cold evenings, when the air sharpens and you want a discreet yet lingering trail.
