By the editors · 2 min readFrankincense arrives first, a dry pine-smoke ribbon that lifts the rose into something monastic rather than romantic. The rose folds into the resin, shedding sweetness and gaining a cool, peppery green edge that keeps the heart austere. Sandalwood and oud lock together in the base, forming a warm, medicinal timber panel polished by saffron’s leather tint; castoreum adds a quiet fur-like rasp that stops the woods from turning creamy. Oakmoss creeps in late, dusting the dry-down with a salt-lichen grey that makes the vanilla read as driftwood rather than dessert. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours, projecting best in cool maritime weather when the salty air can tease out the moss and frankincense.
