By the editors · 2 min readMyrrh opens resinous and medicinal, its bitter licorice edge amplified by star anise's sharp, anisic bite. The heart layers cinnamon bark heat over olibanum's lemon-pine incense, while clove and nutmeg add dry, dusty spice that scours the resinous base. As the spices settle, tonka bean's hay-vanilla sweetness merges with benzoin's honeyed resin, creating a soft amber cushion that tempers patchouli's earthy grit and styrax's leathery smoke. The dry-down remains resin-forward but warmer, with the cinnamon-clove accord lingering as a muted peppery hum rather than a blazing hearth. Projection stays within arm's length for six hours, trailing softly on wool sweaters in cool weather. Best suited for contemplative evenings or formal occasions where incense-like gravitas reads as deliberate rather than ecclesiastical.
