The Dry-Down

As the fragrance transitions, the initial burst of robust tobacco and oud tapers into a rich interplay of sweet vanilla and dry cedarwood. The rose softly whispers through, providing a floral undertone that never dominates but gently rounds off the edges. Over time, the fragrance settles into a creamy, opulent base, with Oud providing a warm, slightly smoky finish. The dry down retains the fragrance's depth and complexity, making it linger elegantly on the skin for hours.
