Mieloud

A burnished honey-cinnamon accord hits the skin with genuine warmth, the spice element unexpectedly prominent and almost peppery, cutting through any risk of syrupy softness. Within minutes, you're aware of something darker lurking beneath—the first whispers of oud's resinous shadow.

The woody base notes assert themselves fully, with Sumatra patchouli and oud creating a dense, almost mineral quality beneath the honeyed warmth. Leather emerges here too, adding a dry, slightly savoury counterpoint that shifts the fragrance's balance entirely away from gourmand territory into something more autumnal and contemplative.

The composition settles into its most harmonious phase as vanilla and white musk dilute the sharper edges, allowing amber to unify the remaining notes into a warm, slightly leathery embrace. What lingers is less sweet and more reminiscent of spiced amber wood with a subtle smokiness—refined, quietly animalic, distinctly present on the skin without projecting loudly.
