By the editors · 2 min readOrange and bergamot open with a citrus brightness that's quickly interrupted by black pepper and the smoky suggestion of lapsang souchong-type references. The lily of the valley provides a clean floral counterpoint that stops the smoke from reading as purely dark or heavy.
Olibanum and smoke in the base give the composition its backbone — a dry, resinous incense paired with genuine smoky density. Cedar adds structure without softening the effect. The pepper note continues to thread through the whole development, linking top to base.
This is a citrus-smoke incense with strong character and a clear through-line. Reasonably complex and wears with moderate projection. Better in cooler conditions where the smoky element reads as warmth rather than heaviness.
