Nutmeg, saffron and coriander over earthy cypriol and creamy sandalwood, with vanilla warming the base. It stays close to the skin, spiced and quietly resinous.

Babylon stays close to the skin, worn for the wearer first. That is among the lowest in the catalogue for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Babylon sits mid-range on risk, neither a clear crowd-pleaser nor clearly divisive on the evidence available. That is 78th percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Babylon carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 57th percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.
Babylon carries sweetness without letting it define the scent. That is 63rd percentile for sweetness across 5,283 scored fragrances.
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.
