By the editors · 2 min readA small woody composition built around guaiac wood — that smoky-sweet, vaguely tarry conifer character that sits between cedar and balsam. Without a stated top, the perfume opens already in the woods, smoke curling under the warmer notes.
Tonka and incense round out the base, adding a soft hay-vanilla sweetness against the smoke. The whole thing reads quiet and concentrated, more meditative than projecting — closer to a smoldering ember than a bonfire. A cool-weather skin scent that rewards close-range wear over room-filling sillage.
