Incense opens with a dry, church-like smokiness that immediately grounds the composition, while raspberry provides a tart, almost jammy fruitiness that cuts through the resinous atmosphere.

By the editors · 2 min readIncense opens with a dry, church-like smokiness that immediately grounds the composition, while raspberry provides a tart, almost jammy fruitiness that cuts through the resinous atmosphere. Lily of the valley and rose emerge next, lending a clean floralcy that feels slightly powdery and vintage against the darker backdrop. Patchouli adds an earthy, slightly chocolatey depth that bridges the floral heart to the base, where leather provides a smooth, worn-in texture and musk adds a skin-like intimacy. The scent evolves from smoky-fruity to a floral-leather dry-down that feels both elegant and slightly rebellious, projecting moderately for about six hours before settling close. Best for cool weather evenings or formal occasions where its complex character can unfold.
