By the editors · 2 min readPlum and orange open dark and syrupy, their candied brightness immediately smothered by a resinous cloud of frankincense and oud. The heart is skipped; instead the incense doubles down, fusing with oakmoss to create a bitter, tarry forest floor accord that swallows the fruit whole. Over hours the dry-down stays smoky and balsamic, the oud turning leathery while moss keeps the profile dry and austere rather than sweet. Projection radiates a two-foot incense haze for most of its life, then collapses into ashy skin-resin by hour eight. Cool, overcast weather suits its brooding character; wear it to evening events where smoke is welcome.
