The heart introduces patchouli and violet alongside a quiet damask rose, the patchouli lending earthy depth while violet pushes a faintly powdered shimmer through the smoke. The composition stays shadowed and resin-forward rather than sweet. As it settles, labdanum and benzoin wrap the drydown in a balsamic warmth that keeps the incense from going austere, the rose now reading more like dried petals than fresh bloom. Texture is dense and faintly tarry, projection is moderate then close, the temperature reads cool-warm. It evokes a velvet curtain near a censer.
Overall a smoky resin-floral composition with a balsamic woody drydown.
