By the editors · 2 min readBergamot flares briefly before a dense, resinous core takes hold. Labdanum and opoponax form the backbone here—sticky, almost medicinal in their intensity, sweetened by amber that feels more molten than powdery. The incense isn't church incense; it's the charred, throat-catching smoke of something burned low and slow.
Leather emerges gradually, tough and slightly acrid, mingling with patchouli that's earthy rather than hippie-sweet. The smoke note persists, lending a campfire rawness that keeps the resins from turning too polite. This is incense as material presence rather than spiritual metaphor.
A dense, unapologetic composition for those who want their resinous fragrances to feel physical and enveloping. It sits close to the skin but radiates warmth, suited to cold evenings and anyone comfortable with bold, somber depth. Not subtle, not airy—deliberately thick and anchoring.
