By the editors · 2 min readLight My Fire opens with a surge of sharp citrus and peppery woods—brisk, almost bracing, like striking a match in a cool room. The brightness doesn't linger long before darker elements emerge: smoky resins and a leathery bite that suggest well-worn jackets and old libraries. There's an herbal edge that keeps it from tipping into pure warmth, a kind of dry astringency threading through.
As it settles, the fragrance becomes quieter but more insistent, radiating a steady heat rather than outright flame. The smoke here isn't billowing or sweet—it's mineral, almost austere. This is incense stripped of its ceremonial context, worn close to the skin in everyday life. It suits someone comfortable with restraint, who prefers suggestion over announcement. Urban and nocturnal, more smoldering ember than bonfire.
