By the editors · 2 min readCoffee dominates the heart, roasted and bitter, immediately met by benzoin’s crystalline sweetness that softens the bean’s burnt edge without turning sugary. Myrrh slides in early, its resinous incense lifting the coffee into a smoky haze while tobacco leaf stretches the body, adding dry, hay-like thickness that keeps the accord from floating away. The dry-down is mostly tobacco stained with warm myrrh; the benzoin retreats, letting the leaf darken and the resin smoulder, producing a quiet, pipe-curl room note. Projection stays close, a skin-warmed swirl that hints at café corners rather than announces them. Cool evenings favour it, especially under a sweater where the resin can heat and re-release. Longevity runs moderate, complexity low; what changes is concentration, not direction, as sweetness fades and leaf dominates.
