By the editors · 2 min readCedar and lemon open with a clean, slightly resinous edge — hinoki-style cedar tends toward pale wood rather than pencil shavings. Thyme adds a herbal sharpness early on, and nutmeg provides a quiet, dry spice that keeps the opening from feeling too simple.
Olibanum takes over in the base, pushing the fragrance toward a dry, smoky-balsamic territory. The incense note here is spare and unsweetened, letting the cedar frame it without competition from floral or gourmand elements.
The result is stripped back and meditative — woody, herbal, and resinous in equal measure. Sillage is restrained; this reads as a considered, close-wearing scent for cooler weather.
