By the editors · 2 min readLemon opens with a bright, slightly bitter citrus edge that quickly gets folded into church-pew incense smoke, creating a dry, resinous brightness. Patchouli arrives early, adding loamy earth that mutes the citrus and lets papyrus contribute a crisp, reed-like greenness. As the heart settles, the tobacco leaf emerges cured rather than sweet, its tannic leaf pairing with oakmoss to form a matte, forest-floor accord that smells like damp bark and old paper. The dry-down stays firmly woody-smoky: no ambered glow, just cool moss, tobacco humus and a whisper of extinguished incense that clings to shirt cuffs. Projection remains restrained, hovering inside personal space for six hours, perfect for cool autumn days when you want a contemplative skin-scent rather than a room-filler.
