602 Pepper, Cedar, Patchouli
The opening is incense-forward with neroli providing a thin citrus brightness underneath — the two sit in mild contrast, the neroli crisp and the incense already pulling toward smoke.

By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is incense-forward with neroli providing a thin citrus brightness underneath — the two sit in mild contrast, the neroli crisp and the incense already pulling toward smoke. Cedar arrives at the heart as a structural dry-wood note rather than anything soft or creamy.
The base deepens with vetiver, patchouli, benzoin, and more incense layering on top of each other. Benzoin softens the edges without adding much sweetness, while vetiver keeps the composition from becoming purely resinous. The overall character is austere and smoky, with woody-earthy accents that persist steadily.
A cool-weather fragrance that wears with deliberate restraint — no brightness or fruit, just dry aromatic smoke and grounded wood.
