By the editors · 2 min readThe composition opens with frankincense and myrrh in close proximity, neither fighting for dominance. The resinous smoke is immediate — dry rather than sweet, closer to cold stone and charred wood than to anything warm or edible.
There is little transition here; the structure is deliberate in its austerity. Patchouli deepens the base with an earthy, slightly fermented quality, while musk provides the barest human warmth beneath the incense.
This is a spare, ceremonial fragrance — dark and meditative without being heavy. The balsamic resin and smoke define its character throughout. Projection is modest, and it stays close to skin after an initial quiet diffusion.
