By the editors · 2 min readCalabrian lemon opens brightly before smoke takes over. Smoked cedar and frankincense set the stage — not church incense but campfire, something outdoor and resinous. Nepalese oud enters the heart alongside burnt vetiver, which carries char and earthiness in roughly equal proportion. The fragrance leans woody rather than animalic.
The base resolves into tonka, toffee, amber, and labdanum — warm and balsamic, a counterweight to the char above. Toffee adds a slight sweetness that prevents the composition from turning austere. The smoke thins over time but never fully dissipates; it remains legible two or three hours in as a background texture.
This suits cold weather and people who want fire-adjacent warmth without full incense density. Projection is strong on application, settling to moderate after a few hours.
