By the editors · 2 min readOpens with a quick citrus flicker of lemon and bergamot, but the brightness is brief — the composition pulls quickly toward its smoky-resinous middle.
Frankincense gives the heart a dry church-incense quality, with iris contributing a cool, slightly metallic powder. The oil format pushes everything close to skin from the start, so what would otherwise be a sparkling opening reads more muted and contemplative.
The drydown is where the perfume settles in: sandalwood's creamy warmth folded into soft amber and a milky vanilla, with the incense still drifting through. Overall a quiet woody-incense scent with a powdered edge, low projection, and a finish that hovers like worn cashmere rather than announcing itself.
