By the editors · 2 min readLavender and cardamom open cool and slightly camphoraceous, the spice sharpening the herb’s clean edges. Within minutes incense and frankincense billow up, their resinous smoke threading through a dry tobacco leaf that carries subtle saffron hay. The heart stays leathery-aromatic rather than sweet, with patchouli adding dark cocoa earth that keeps amber from turning creamy. Over hours the tobacco softens, letting the incense crumble into a warm, softly powdery amber skin-print that still hints of lavender. Projection sits at arm’s length for most of the day, projecting best in cool weather when the resinous tobacco accord can breathe without overheating.
