By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is a plume of altar smoke—olibanum sharp and resinous, saffron lending a medicinal tang, cardamom and pink pepper crackling at the edges. It feels ancient and formal, more ceremony than seduction. Within minutes, myrrh thickens the air, honeyed and slightly bitter, grounding the spice in something darker and more contemplative.
As it settles, leather emerges—not polished or animalic, but dusty, like tanned hides in a desert souk. Cedar and patchouli add earthiness without sweetness, while castoreum and musk anchor it in warmth that feels human rather than clean. The incense never fully recedes; it lingers as a smoky thread through everything.
This is built for those who want fragrance as statement rather than suggestion. It demands space, formality, cooler weather. Not versatile, not easy, but unapologetically itself—a scent that knows exactly what it is.
