The richest, most oriental fragrance in the Jo Malone catalogue, layering spicy ginger and cardamom over a dense, leathery black amber and sandalwood base. Sold at the higher Cologne Intense-style concentration, it's a favorite among customers wanting more projection and longevity than the brand's usual delicate colognes offer.
