Cocoa-brown writings
On honey fibers
Your possessions and gold
Taken from civet
Follow its rum trails
Into the resin grotto
Of the noble balsam flowers

I found the opening challenging, but then it became really nice!
It starts gourmand with cocoa, rum, and honey, with the honey being prominent throughout.
The rum is only noticeable for a few minutes.
The traces of civet are there, but they remain quite subtle, as the resinous notes take the forefront and, in the late drydown, are complemented by balsamic and beautiful floral notes that lead the way.
