Fortis

Fortis opens with cumin's warm spice and the dark, resinous bite of agarwood, grounded by earthy cypriol and saffron's threads of hay-like heat. The heart softens into vetiver's green-rooted depth, joined by the smoky sweetness of guaiac wood and amyris's creamy wood tones. Cedar threads through, sharpening the composition before musk and sandalwood emerge in the base, their clean animalics warming beneath patchouli's leathery earthiness. Vanilla and ambergris settle last, their soft amber glow fading to dry sandalwood and a subtle musk that clings to skin like a second warmth.
