By the editors · 2 min readFrankincense and saffron open with a resinous, slightly iodine-smoked brightness that instantly signals church-pew gravitas. Guaiac wood arrives early, folding its dry, pencil-shaving character around the incense while amber liquefies the smoke into a glowing, petrol-tinged ember. Heart-stage rose is kept low, offering a bruised-petal dampness that keeps the leather-oud tandem from turning purely acrid; patchouli adds loamy weight rather than sweetness. Vanilla slowly buffers the embers, letting the leather darken and the oud reveal a band-aid facet before everything sinks into a tar-cream skin-scent haze. Projection stays arm’s-length for six hours, then hovers close; cool evenings and smart-casual offices suit its smoky restraint.
