Song of Songs Ayala Moriel

Song of Songs is an unabashed celebration of warmth and intimacy, a fragrance that eschews restraint in favour of sensual immediacy. The bergamot opening provides a fleeting moment of brightness before the composition surrenders entirely to its floral and gourmand inclinations. What emerges is a rose-jasmine duet rendered decidedly creamy—the opoponax adds a honeyed, almost resinous sweetness that prevents the florals from ever turning austere or green. There's a powdery iris note threading through the mid-stages that lends a soft, skin-like quality, whilst the patchouli provides necessary earthiness, grounding what could otherwise become cloying.

The vanilla-amber base is the fragrance's true anchor, transforming the composition into something akin to a spiced honey cake dusted with talc. This is gourmand without being saccharine; the spice accord (likely from the patchouli and opoponax interplay) prevents descent into pure confectionery. It's a fragrance for those who wear their sensuality deliberately, unapologetically—not a whisper but a murmur meant for close quarters. The oil concentration suggests impressive skin intimacy, rather than projection. This is a scent for evening layering, for bedside application, for moments when you're dressing the skin rather than announcing yourself to a room. It appeals to anyone uninterested in floral abstraction, seeking instead florals rendered plush and edible.
