By the editors · 2 min readCinnamon, cardamom and frankincense open in dense resinous warmth, the spices dry and the incense already smoldering. There is no fresh phase to speak of; the perfume begins where many others end.
Sandalwood, cedar and patchouli build the wood structure in the heart, while jasmine, ylang-ylang and rose lay a floral curtain across them, sweet and slightly oily. The flowers stay subordinate to the resin, lending body rather than brightness.
Myrrh, benzoin and amber compound the base into something balsamic and slowly burning, with musk smoothing the edges. The overall character is a temple-incense oriental, heavy and contemplative, suited to cold weather and quiet evenings.
