Saffron and jasmine open it up, then a glowing amberwood, ambergris, and hedione heart takes over, resting on cedar, fir resin, ambroxan, and a touch of sweetness. It's genuinely its own thing, an airy, mineral, faintly sweet woody amber that projects beautifully and reads unmistakable from across a room. A scent for evenings and cooler weather, and one of the true reference points in modern perfumery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWorth Knowing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the creation of Francis Kurkdjian himself, who also composed Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Male back in 1995, one of the best-selling men's fragrances of all time.
