By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain and black pepper crackle together in a dry, green-citrus spark that lifts the sweeter orange-grapefruit tandem. Olibanum arrives early, folding waxy incense into the still-lingering grapefruit so the heart feels like citrus rind dusted with church ash. As the resin thins, vetiver and cedar split the difference: the grassier root steers the incense left toward cool earth, while clean cedarwood keeps the axis bright. Tonka warms the background with soft almond facets, yet oakmoss moss keeps the base matte rather than creamy, so the amber stays a quiet glow rather than dessert. Projection hovers arm-length for five hours then settles to a skin-forward wood-incense whisper that reads crisp rather than cosy; best for cool spring mornings or air-conditioned offices.
