By the editors · 2 min readIncense and frankincense open in tandem with the cool green of cedar and lily of the valley, the resin reading cathedral-cold and slightly smoky from the first second. The first impression is solemn and contemplative.
Peach softens the heart with a fuzzy warm sweetness, while clove cuts back with a peppery-medicinal spice. The fruit-spice tension keeps the resin from feeling purely austere, adding a strange almost edible warmth to the smoke.
The base brings tonka, more incense, vetiver, frankincense, labdanum, vanilla, and patchouli for a balsamic-resinous dryout with sweet vanilla glow. The overall character is an incense-led woody resin with a fruity-spicy heart, theatrical and slowly unfolding.
