Arabian Nights Jesus del Pozo

Saffron bursts through first, honeyed and almost peppery, whilst thyme provides a green, slightly astringent counterpoint that prevents the composition from collapsing into pure sweetness. Within the first five minutes, you're aware this is something substantial, something built on woody foundations rather than floral whimsy.

The true architecture reveals itself as the top notes dissolve—gaiac wood's woody-phenolic character emerges, supported by a creamy sandalwood centre and the dark earthiness of patchouli and vetiver. The smoky accords intensify here, creating a veil of incense-like warmth that makes the entire composition feel intimate and mysterious, as if you've stepped into a candlelit room draped in silks.

Oud and amber dominate the final hours, creating an almost resinous-honeyed base that clings with surprising tenacity despite the modest longevity rating. Cistus and musk settle faintly beneath, adding whispers of bittersweet warmth and a subtle skin-scent quality that keeps the fragrance from feeling heavy, instead becoming something you must lean in to fully appreciate.
