A surreal masterpiece of high-gourmand decadence and ancient royal incense, this Extrait de Parfum captures the hallucinatory twilight of a subterranean opium den suspended in a sea of velvet and smoke. It opens with an arresting, iridescent flash of tart pomegranate, crushed violet leaf, and tannic fermented grapes, woven into a whimsical, gossamer spun-sugar thread of SM cotton candy accord.
As the heart unfolds, an extravagant quartet of four types of iris casts a powdery, imperial haze over a steaming, multi-textured tea ceremony. Nostalgic milk tea accord and tannic black tea interlock with soft, steamed rice and dark, intoxicating fermented plum, all drenched in the intoxicating, boozy warmth of an aged wine accord and the metallic, mystical shimmer of a Tin Ha accord.
The drydown descends into a monumental wooden spine of breathtaking rarity: the hyper-precious, medicinal woodsmoke of Purple Kinam fuses with the cool, resinous depth of Blue Aceh oud, Leyte oud, and subterranean Laos oud. Anchored by an oceanic mineral veil of seaweed and pristine white ambergris, the scent sinks into the deep, animalic embrace of fermented Mongolian musk—leaving behind an intoxicating, lingering aura of pure avant-garde luxury.
