By the editors · 2 min readIncense opens with a resinous puff, quickly pierced by pink pepper’s bright sparkle while galbanum adds a bitter-green snap that keeps the smoke airy. Saffron folds into the heart, its le hay-like leatheriness tinting the incense ember-red and drying the pepper into something suede-soft. Sandalwood arrives early in the base, creamy and blond, riding tandem with earthy patchouli that darkens the incense trail without turning it heavy. Over two hours the green flash recedes, leaving a skin-near haze of sweet woods, saffron dust and cool ash that feels like cashmere rubbed with spice. Projection stays polite, a one-foot aura perfect for office or cool spring days when you want quiet depth rather than announcement.
