By the editors · 2 min readIncense opens with a dry smoky character that feels both meditative and slightly austere. Amber quickly emerges with its warm resinous sweetness, softening the initial smokiness with balsamic depth. Vetiver provides an earthy woody foundation that grounds the composition with dry root-like texture. Ginger and nutmeg add subtle warm-spicy accents that enhance the amber without dominating. The scent evolves minimally, maintaining its amber-incense core from application through dry-down. It projects moderately with good longevity, suited for cool weather formal and evening wear where its contemplative character shines.
