Opoponax, or sweet myrrh, has a balsamic, honey-like quality that warms the heart of this fragrance, while notes of benzoin resin and sandalwood waft through the air. The preceding top notes consist of exquisite rose and jasmine blossoms.
This harmonious blend of oriental flowers and resins is made even more profound by black patchouli, animalic castoreum, sweet amber and vanilla. The fragrance hovers on the skin like smoke, mysterious and beguiling.
Classic Opoponax is like a sunrise in the Orient, as if a thousand and one nights had passed just to experience this one promised moment of sunrise, paradise on earth.
