By the editors · 2 min readLavender and pink pepper open with a dry, slightly medicinal snap, while nutmeg adds a warm granular edge. The composition settles quickly into its heart, where oud and frankincense take charge — resinous, slightly smoky, grounded by vetiver's root-cellar depth. Violet and magnolia soften the austerity without turning floral in any obvious way.
Sandalwood and benzoin anchor the base, pulling the resin into something creamier as it dries down. Cedar keeps the structure upright and prevents the warmth from going slack.
Overall this reads as a resinous-woody oriental with a cool herbal entry. It balances the medicinal and the sacred, leaning toward unisex territory with a balsamic weight that persists well into the dry-down.
