How it moves
Rose, cumin and bourbon vetiver hit first, the way an opening line should. Then the heart turns up — cedar, agarwood (oud) and guaiac wood — and the whole thing slows down. It dries down to amber, musk, olibanum and cistus labdanum, close to the skin and hard to forget.
What wearers say
4.09 out of 5 across 3,835 ratings — well loved, and not quietly.
- Reviewers love its dry, spicy woody rose, calling it uniquely masculine-leaning and completely unlike sweet, feminine rose fragrances.
- The prominent cumin opening divides opinion, but most agree the elegant cedar-and-incense drydown makes it a distinctive signature.
Who made it
Daphné Bugey composed it in 2006, for Le Labo in United States. Created by Daphne Bugey for Le Labo's 2006 debut, this cumin-spiked woody rose became the house's signature and scents Fairmont hotel amenities worldwide.
