By the editors · 2 min readLavender and orange blossom open cleanly, offering a soft floral aromatic lift. It reads accessible at first — herbal brightness paired with white floral warmth.
Incense enters the heart alongside tonka bean and patchouli, shifting the composition toward something earthier and smokier. The incense here is the clear structural spine, burning resiny and dry against the rounded sweetness of tonka.
In the base, incense persists and patchouli deepens, while tonka leaves a subtle sweet, balsamic trail. The result is a lavender-led aromatic that pivots firmly toward smoky resin, giving it a meditative, slightly austere character suited to cooler evenings.
