By the editors · 2 min readIncense and birch create a smoky, slightly woody opening that is intense and atmospheric from the first spray. Neroli, jasmine, and orange blossom emerge in the heart, offering a floral and white-floral counterpoint that softens the initial smokiness. Musk in the base adds a clean, animalic depth that anchors the composition and provides a long-lasting dry-down. The fragrance evolves significantly from smoky to floral-musky, with a complexity that keeps it engaging over time. Projection is moderate, suitable for close encounters, and it settles to a skin-scent within a few hours. Best for fall or winter evenings and formal occasions, it lasts seven to twelve hours in cool weather.
