By the editors · 2 min readOlibanum opens with a crisp, resinous smokiness that feels both meditative and slightly austere. Labdanum quickly deepens the scent with its warm, balsamic richness, adding a resinous glow to the central accord. Cedar provides a dry, woody backbone that supports the aromatic resins without overwhelming their complexity. Musk lingers in the base with a soft, skin-like warmth that amplifies the scent's intimate persistence. The composition remains relatively linear, focusing on a smoky-woody amber character with minimal evolution. It projects softly for hours, ideal for cool evenings or contemplative indoor settings in fall and winter.
