By the editors · 2 min readFrankincense opens dry and resinous, crackling like cooled embers while immediately staking out a contemplative, church-quiet space. Tobacco sweeps in during the heart, its honeyed leaf softening the incense edges and adding a faintly sweet smoke that feels rolled rather than lit. Iris slips between the two, lending a cool, chalky violet tint that keeps the tobacco from turning leathery and lets the composition breathe. As the base settles, creamy sandalwood merges with clean white musk, forming a suede-soft haze that muffles the earlier smoke without erasing it, so the skin still carries a memory of cinders inside soft wood. Projection stays close, creating a private incense circle rather than announcing itself across a room.
