By the editors · 2 min readFrankincense opens dry and resinous, immediately casting a papery smoke veil that clings to the skin. Myrrh thickens the incense, adding a bitter-anisic edge that turns the opening slightly medicinal while iris slips underneath, lending cool powder that keeps the resins from turning tarry. Patchouli arrives early, its earthy cocoa nuance braiding with the still-wafting incense to create a muted brown heart that feels like charred wood dusted with iris root. As the smoke settles, ambergris lends a salty, almost slick roundness, allowing amber to glow softly rather than sweeten, while leather emerges as a matte, suede-like skin scent that muffles the resins rather than competing with them. Projection stays close, a translucent incense halo perfect for cool evenings or layered under heavier leathers.
