By the editors · 2 min readOlibanum and bergamot open together — the bergamot delivering a familiar citrus brightness while olibanum introduces a resinous, slightly smoky quality that signals more depth ahead. The combination is clean but with incense-like character from the start.
The base is built on amber, vanilla, and white musk. Amber and vanilla converge into a warm, golden sweetness, while the musk keeps the overall projection restrained and skin-close. The frankincense character softens as the base matures.
This is a clean, approachable resinous fragrance — not aggressively incense-forward, but with enough olibanum character to distinguish it from generic oriental bases. The bergamot opening bridges accessibility and warmth effectively.
