The range is built around fresh spicy, woody and earthy accords. These are joined by powdery, warm spicy and amber tones that soften the sharper edges of the materials. Oud, patchouli, saffron and sandalwood appear throughout the catalogue, giving the compositions a dense and resinous character that anchors the lighter facets of the scent profiles.

At the centre of the house sits a group of compositions that balance dry wood with heavy spice. Italy, September 2017 is part of this core group. The recurring use of saffron and oud creates a consistent thread across the different releases, while patchouli and sandalwood provide a grounded base that supports the fresh spicy opening notes found in the wider collection.
