9 Final Spirit

Spice, woods and resin share equal billing in 9 Final Spirit, composed by Bertrand Duchaufour for the French house Spiritum in 2022, with green, musky and amber touches beneath.

Saffron and cinnamon open with a warm, leathery and sweet spice, while clary sage and davana add a herbal, slightly boozy fruitiness. Dates bring a sticky, honeyed sweetness. The heart turns resinous: labdanum, myrrh and incense give a dark, balsamic and smoky richness, like a church filled with incense. In the base, agarwood (oud) and sandalwood supply deep, resinous and creamy woods, tobacco a sweet leafiness, and vanilla a softening warmth.

It is worn by anyone. Its spiced, resinous depth suits autumn and winter evenings, contemplative moments and special occasions. Those who appreciate incense, oud and dark spices in a complex, layered composition should find it rewarding to explore.
