Chimaera is intentionally dense and shape-shifting. Pepper, saffron, herbs, leather, and balsam establish a dry spicy opening before iris, dark florals, honey, and incense broaden the center. The base layers patchouli, labdanum, benzoin, oud, tobacco, leather, balsam, and woods into a smoky resinous finish with only restrained caramel sweetness.
