By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper and cardamom strike first, brisk and dry, with jasmine adding a brief floral thread that keeps the opening from feeling purely culinary. The spice reads clean rather than aggressive.
Labdanum and clove deepen the composition quickly, pulling it toward resinous territory. The clove stays measured — warm and faintly medicinal rather than dominant. Oakmoss arrives underneath, lending a cool, slightly damp earthiness that contrasts the warmer resins.
Tonka bean, amber, and opoponax settle into a dense, balsamic base with a gentle sweetness held in check by the moss. The result is a resinous, incense-adjacent fragrance that wears close to the skin in its final hours.
