Description
The story behind this fragrance
Clove and bergamot ignite sharp and bright, their heat immediately tempered by coriander's gentle spice and saffron's dusty warmth. The heart softens into amber and rose—leather threading beneath like worn fabric—before the base unfolds into a dense, creamy embrace. Tonka bean sweetens the woody core of Virginia cedar and sandalwood, while guaiac wood adds a subtle smoke. Peru balsam and labdanum deepen into resin, patchouli grounds the sweetness, and musk anchors everything in skin-close warmth. Esprit de Candela settles finally into vanilla-tinged amber and woody amber, the spiced opening long dissolved.
