By the editors · 2 min readIncense and rum open together in a compelling combination — the incense smoky, the rum sweet and sharp. Bergamot frames both with citrus brightness, preventing the opening from becoming too dark.
Orris in the heart introduces earthy, violet-root powderiness that sits in interesting tension with the rum's sweetness and the incense's smoke. The iris-rum pairing is the composition's most distinctive moment.
Vetiver and patchouli anchor the base with earthy depth while vanilla softens the exit. The rum lingers as a supporting sweetness. The overall character is a smoky-resinous oriental with iris powder — unusual and suited to cool-weather evening wear.
