By the editors · 2 min readA dense cloud of incense and styrax opens with a smoky, church-like resinous character that is both solemn and enveloping. Citrus from lemon and bergamot provides a faint brightening effect, though it is quickly overshadowed by the balsamic heart. Labdanum and patchouli deepen the resinous core, adding a warm, earthy complexity that blends with the frankincense. Benzoin and amber create a sweet, vanillic undertone that softens the composition's potentially austere smokiness. The scent is intensely linear, projecting a strong sillage that remains consistent for over twelve hours. Best suited for cool weather evenings or formal occasions due to its potent and contemplative nature.
