Modelled profile
Jasmine, orange blossom and ylang bloom over olibanum smoke, with guaiac, saffron and vetiver keeping the base dry and dark. Warm and resinous, it sets white florals against incense for a smoky woody oriental.

The Anchor
The Dry Warmth
Warm enough to be felt. Dry enough to mean it.
The warmth here is firm. It arrives unapologetic and stays put. Substance comes first, every time.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
