By the editors · 2 min readIncense dominates from the first spray, dense and resinous, backed by black pepper that adds a dry, crackling texture rather than heat. The citrus duo of grapefruit and bergamot flashes quickly, cutting the smoke for barely five minutes before the heart emerges. Jasmine lifts the composition into a translucent floral haze while coffee grounds the centre, lending a dark-roasted bitterness that keeps the bloom from turning sweet. Incense returns in the base, now merged with oakmoss and labdanum to create a matte, ash-powdered leather effect that clings to skin like burnt paper. Projection stays moderate, forming a two-foot radius of cool cinders perfect for evening wear through fall and winter.
