By the editors · 2 min readBlack Pepper snaps open with a dry, crackling heat that immediately draws the nostrils tight. Vetiver slides in next, its grassy-smoky root softening the spice while adding an earthy spine that keeps the heart grounded. As the peppers recede, frankincense and opoponax rise together, pooling into a resinous base that feels both church-cool and skin-warm. The incense smokes quietly for hours, letting the balsamic sweetness of opoponax shimmer through the embers without ever turning sugary. Projection stays within arm’s reach, a low incense cloud perfect for cool evenings when you want presence without announcement. Longevity stretches past midnight, making it an effortless companion for leather-jacket dates or solitary midnight walks.
