Caput Mundi

Bulgarian rose and lily-of-the-valley open with a whisper of iris, their floral clarity cut through by cabreuva's resinous warmth. The heart settles into a dense, honeyed oud layered with sandalwood and creeping patchouli—saffron threads the composition with faint spice, while orris adds a powdery, root-like anchor. As the drydown emerges, Cambodian oud and agarwood deepen into Caput Mundi's final character: cedar and cashmere wood create a soft, woody cocoon, ambergris glowing beneath like embers beneath ash.
