By the editors · 2 min readViolet leaf opens cold and green, a watery cucumber-cool snap that sets a wintry mood from the first second. There is no citrus or floral lift — the entry is austere, almost mineral.
The heart introduces frankincense, dry and lemony with smoke curling at the edges, against an iris note rendered cool and rooty rather than powdered. The pairing reads as carved stone in cold air, both notes pulling toward the grey-blue end of the spectrum. The base anchors with guaiac wood — smoky, slightly tarry — and labdanum adding a leathery-balsamic warmth that finally lets a little heat into the composition. Projection stays close, the texture spare and architectural; the arc is slow and meditative, the mood unmistakably hibernal throughout.
Overall a cold incense-iris with a leathery resinous close.
