The heart shifts toward incense: frankincense and olibanum together build a cool-grey resinous smoke, propped against cedar's pencil-sharp wood. The peppers fade but their dryness persists, and the incense smoke takes over the central character.
The base adds tobacco and leather over sandalwood — tobacco dried-leaf rather than honeyed, the leather fairly clean and not too animalic. The drydown reads warm-smoky-woody. Overall the character is a dry resinous masculine, cool-weather-friendly, evening or smart-casual, with a quiet seriousness that suits someone wanting smoke and wood without big-spice sweetness.
