By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain and vetiver open green and stemmy together, with frankincense smoke and star anise's licorice-edge complicating the opening into something more herbal-resin than fresh-aromatic. It reads dry from the first minute.
Cedar and thyme deepen the herbal-woody character in the heart — thyme camphorous and slightly medicinal, cedar pencil-dry. The frankincense thread from the top continues through, lending a meditative coolness.
Mysore sandalwood softens the base while patchouli adds earthy, almost damp-forest depth. The overall character is austere, woody-herbal, and slightly smoky — a hike through cool pine with incense smoke drifting through. Holds steady on skin for hours, projecting moderately at first then sitting close.
