By the editors · 2 min readIncense opens with a dry, smoky character that immediately wraps around the sharp cedar wood. The cedar provides a clean, pencil-shaving quality that cuts through the resinous fog. Oakmoss emerges in the heart, adding a damp, earthy texture that grounds the composition. Vetiver reinforces the dry, rooty base with its characteristic grassy bitterness. The scent remains linear with minimal evolution, maintaining its meditative woody-smoke character throughout. Projection stays intimate, hovering close to the skin after the first hour. Longevity extends for several hours as a subtle skin scent. Best suited for cool weather and contemplative occasions.
