By the editors · 2 min readFrankincense and incense open with a dry, papery smoke that immediately folds cool iris into the plume, creating a matte, chalky front. Myrrh and vanilla arrive together, the resin darkening the vanilla’s cream while patchouli adds a cocoa-brown earthiness that keeps the sweetness sober; musk blurs the edges so the heart feels like smoked suede rather than bakery. Honey and amber bloom late, but the leather stays in charge, turning the base into a lightly waxed, sweet-smoke skin scent that projects no farther than a wool sleeve. Cool evenings, smart casual, travels well.
