Pepper sets the tone immediately — black and pink crackling together over the skin, dry and slightly biting, the kind of opening that wakes the nose rather than coaxes it.

Frankincense pulls the centre into resinous territory, smoke curling around the spice and lending a vaguely ceremonial weight. A whisper of myrrh deepens the balsamic shadow without tipping the composition into outright sweetness.
The base anchors itself on cedar and sandalwood, dry and slightly smoky woods that carry the pepper's bite well into the drydown. Overall the perfume reads sharp and contemplative, more austere than warming, suited to deliberate rather than casual occasions and holding its line for hours.
