By the editors · 2 min readRaspberry lands first, a tart berry brightness that quickly folds into thyme’s green-herbal bite, giving the opening a slightly bitter fruit edge. Olibanum arrives in the heart, streaming cool incense smoke that dries the fruit and lifts the herbs into a resinous haze. Leather and suede then stretch across the base, the raspberry’s acidity staining the hides a deep wine-purple while thyme’s camphor keeps the texture matte rather than glossy. Over hours the suede dominates, a soft, tannic skin dusted with frankincense ash, the berry reduced to a dark stain at the edges. Projection stays within arm’s length; best for cool autumn evenings or leather-jacket casual nights.
