By the editors · 2 min readA smoky, jewel-toned amber that opens with a bright raspberry — tart enough to feel almost like a hit of red pepper — quickly drawn into a darker swirl.
The heart is dominated by orris and incense, the iris cool and powdered while frankincense lays down a dry, slightly church-like smoke. Vanilla threads through the resin, lending a smoothing sweetness that keeps the smoke from feeling austere. The combination has a recognisable lipstick-and-altar quality.
The base of amber, cashmeran and musk extends the warmth into a velvety, slightly leathered close. Overall the impression is a powdered iris-amber wrapped in low smoke with a fruit flicker at the start — atmospheric, slightly mysterious, more comfort than statement.
