By the editors · 2 min readIncense opens cool and resinous against bergamot and the tart purple bite of black currant. The first impression is unusual, with the cassis adding a slightly sweaty fruity edge to the smoke.
Tuberose and magnolia warm the heart into a creamy white-floral haze, the incense still threading through and keeping the bouquet from feeling too pretty. There is a balance between green resin and lush bloom that holds the centre.
The base is amber, patchouli, and musk for a warm balsamic-earthy finish, with the incense quietly continuing as a cool counterweight. The overall character is a floral resin with a smoky undertow, sophisticated and slightly austere, more cathedral than greenhouse.
