Base Notes: Egyptian Balsam, Resins, Caramel, Cumin, Leather, Patchouli
Le participe passé begins with bitter herbs and citrus before fruit and pepper create a warmer transition. Egyptian balsam, resins, caramel, cumin, leather, and patchouli form a dense drydown that is smoky, earthy, and lightly sweet. The fragrance balances aromatic freshness against a darker amber-resin structure with substantial depth.
