Guaiac wood and cedar give the heart a dry smokiness, while iris and violet provide a cool, powdery counterpoint. The combination of dry wood smoke against soft floral powder is the central tension here. Oakmoss anchors everything with a damp, green-earth quality.
In the drydown the resinous base takes full control — amber and opoponax dominate, leaving a warm, dark, and moderately animalic finish. Dense and deliberate rather than casual.
