Base Notes
Amberwood · Incense · Musk
A burst of mastic and white pepper greets the skin with crisp, resinous brightness. The lentisque adds a green, slightly peppery warmth that feels both grounding and fresh—perfect for warm weather and transitional seasons. This opening is clean and inviting, setting the stage for what unfolds.
The composition evolves into a heart of soft iris and delicate orris, bringing a subtle powdery sophistication that deepens the fragrance's character. These floral notes are understated and refined, never overwhelming. They create a creamy, refined center that bridges the aromatic freshness of the top with the warmth below.
Amberwood, incense, and olibanum anchor the base with a warm, slightly smoky depth, while a whisper of musk rounds the composition into a soft personal halo that lingers for 6–8 hours. The sillage is noticeable without demanding attention—a signature of effortless luxury.
Performance & Wear
Resident X delivers 6–8 hours of noticeable projection on skin. Apply to pulse points for optimal diffusion. Layering with the Body Oil extends wear considerably for all-day presence. Perfect for year-round wear, especially in transitional seasons. HumanSafe™ Verified · IFRA Compliant · 100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free.
