By the editors · 2 min readIncense opens things with a dry, slightly resinous smoke that is sharp without being dense. Mandarin from the general list provides a faint citrus contrast, keeping the opening from feeling too heavy at the start.
Cedar and patchouli form the heart — cedar bringing dry woodiness, patchouli adding earthiness and some dark depth. The combination is grounded and masculine in register, with the patchouli steering toward a slightly medicinal earthiness rather than sweetness.
Tonka bean and praline sweeten the base considerably, with ambroxan contributing a clean skin-like warmth. The result is a contrast between smoky-dark opening and a sweeter, softer dry-down — more accessible than its incense start suggests.
