By the editors · 2 min readFrankincense opens with a dry, resinous smoke that feels both ancient and meditative, immediately establishing a solemn atmosphere. Leather emerges quickly, adding a supple, almost tarry texture that blends seamlessly with the incense's balsamic warmth. Vetiver provides an earthy, slightly rooty counterpoint in the heart, while benzoin softens the composition with a gentle vanilla-like sweetness. Sandalwood and labdanum form the base, creating a creamy, woody-amber dry-down that feels both comforting and enduring. The scent evolves linearly from smoky resin to a softer, skin-hugging woodiness over several hours. Projection is moderate initially, settling to an intimate trail with excellent longevity, best suited for fall and winter evenings in cool weather.
