By the editors · 2 min readIncense and frankincense lift up first — smoky, slightly church-cool — paired with violet leaf and a violet flower that reads bluish and a little metallic.
The heart sustains the violet over a marine-mineral spine, salty and ozonic, the smoke continuing to billow above. Sandalwood and guaiac provide woody scaffolding, vetiver an earthy darkness.
Amber rounds the dry-down to something warm and slightly powdery, musk extending it. Overall character: a smoky violet over salt and wood, modern and architectural. A salty mineral undertone keeps it from going soft. The smoke holds rather than dissipates. A clean mineral tang threads the whole composition.
