Pepper leaf erupts with green-edged vitality, its sharp herbaceousness immediately brightened by saffron's honeyed spice—together they create an almost savoury opening that feels almost culinary, as though you've walked into a spice merchant's backroom rather than encountered conventional fragrance. The effect is arrestingly dry despite the saffron's warmth, establishing character through contrast rather than consensus.

As the initial pepper recedes, coffee blossom emerges with unexpected subtlety—nothing roasted or aggressive, instead a delicate, slightly bitter-green facet that pairs intriguingly with white gingerlily's clean, almost soapy-resinous character. The heart reveals itself as genuinely unusual: neither gourmand nor traditionally floral, it occupies an austere middle ground that feels simultaneously herbal, faintly spiced, and oddly mineralized, demanding your attention rather than offering easy pleasure.

Ebony wood and frankincense consolidate into a dark, resinous foundation with genuine depth—the woody accord becomes pronounced here, almost charred and architecturally angular. Coconut milk emerges as a creamy, savoury counterpoint rather than sweetness, creating something almost cumin-adjacent and surprisingly comforting against the darker woody skeleton, though the fragrance never surrenders its inherent austerity or intellectual reserve.
