By the editors · 2 min readStar anise and blood orange open with a sharp, medicinal brightness that quickly softens as the lemon recedes. The anise dominates the top, lending a licorice edge that reads almost culinary before the myrrh pulls it toward something darker and resinous.
As the heart settles, myrrh anchors the composition with a dry, smoky incense quality. The transition to the base is gradual — tonka bean and vanilla round out the resin with a warm, almond-like sweetness that cushions the harder edges.
The final dry-down is cozy and sweet-spiced, leaning gourmand without becoming cloying. The anise thread persists quietly, giving the vanilla base an unexpected licorice lift that keeps it from reading as purely confectionary.
