By the editors · 2 min readTonka bean dominates the opening, pouring out a warm, bittersweet almond-coumarinde that blankets the listed sandalwood and vetiver, creating an almost tobacco-like richness within the first minutes. Heart smoke rises through this gourmand haze, drying the edges and letting iris ghost in with a cool, carrot-root dustiness that keeps the tonka from turning syrupy. By mid-development the lavender and rosemary—oddly placed in the base—finally surface, slicing the sweetness with clean, camphoraceous lines while frankincense adds a church-bbench resin that fuses with the lingering tonna-amber trail. Dry-down stays closer to skin, a soft-spicy, slightly smoky vanillic wood that smells like old instrument varnish warmed under stage lights. Projection remains moderate, best suited to cool autumn nights or indoor concerts where low light matches its dusky character.
