By the editors · 2 min readIncense anchors the composition from the start — no traditional top-and-heart development, just a smoky resinous presence that establishes the mood. The opening reads contemplative and a touch austere.
Tonka bean, ginger, black pepper, mandarin, and clary sage weave around the central incense thread. Ginger and pepper provide a soft spicy crackle, mandarin a glimmer of citrus, while clary sage adds a savory herbaceous lift. The interplay keeps the smoke from becoming monolithic.
Tonka bean's almond-vanilla warmth settles in as the smoke develops, lending hints of sweetness without tipping gourmand. The drydown stays resin-forward, skin-warm, and meditative. Overall it reads as a quiet incense composition with discreet warmth at its core.
