Haunted Souls

The note structure breaks from single-note conventions. Coconut blossom and bergamot open things with unexpected softness, but night-blooming jasmine and tuberose carry the middle, a dense, almost nocturnal floral that shifts the composition toward something more complex. The real anchor is the base: leather, myrrh, and patchouli. Together they create a foundation that's warm without being sweet, dark without being aggressive.

The evolution

The opening is soft. Unsettling, almost. Coconut blossom and bergamot arrive together, bright and sweet, but there's a warmth underneath from saffron that stops it from being cheerful. The bergamot fades, leaving the coconut blossom and saffron as the main players. Then the florals shift. Night-blooming jasmine doesn't tiptoe in. It takes over. Tuberose joins, and suddenly the composition is heavier, sweeter, more insistent. The leather doesn't arrive all at once. It builds slowly, threading through the florals, darkening them. Myrrh adds smoke, patchouli adds earth, and the coconut blossom retreats without disappearing entirely. You're left with leather, myrrh, and a ghost of jasmine, warm, close, intimate. The longevity is genuine, closer to the surface in the final hours but never fully gone.
