Olibanum and plum open with a resinous, slightly tart quality — the fruit reads as bruised rather than sweet, grounded quickly by the incense smoke rising beneath it.

By the editors · 2 min readOlibanum and plum open with a resinous, slightly tart quality — the fruit reads as bruised rather than sweet, grounded quickly by the incense smoke rising beneath it. Osmanthus adds a faint suede-apricot texture that softens the initial austerity.
Leather and rose form the heart: the leather is dry and cool, while the rose stays subdued and slightly dark. There's tension between the two without either dominating.
Benzoin and musk close things down with a warm, balsamic skin finish. Incense threads through from top to base, giving the whole composition a coherent smoky backbone. Dense and unhurried.
