Sceptre

Sceptre opens with a sharp spice—clove and coriander snap against pink pepper's bite—before softening into something floral and warm. Peach blooms through the middle, honeyed and ripe, while ylang-ylang adds a creamy, almost indolic sweetness that plays against earthy patchouli and the airy sweetness of wisteria. As it settles, benzoin and amber create a resinous, amber-toned glow that deepens with myrrh's dry, smoky edge, held aloft by the salt-skin warmth of ambergris. The effect is regal and tactile—spiced at first, then sensuous and amber-touched.
