By the editors · 2 min readA spare, resinous composition that opens with a clean flash of lemon before settling quickly into its woody core. The lemon is bright but brief, acting more as a transitional note than a true opening statement.
Guaiac wood anchors the heart — smoky, slightly medicinal, dry. Labdanum adds sweetness and resinous depth, while vanilla rounds out the base with a gentle warmth that keeps the composition from feeling austere.
The overall effect is minimalist and slow-burning: wood-dominant with a smooth, slightly sweet resin finish. It suits cooler weather well and works as a quiet, contemplative skin scent rather than a room-filling presence.
