By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is a concentrated rush of jasmine—almost narcotic in its density, sweet but shadowed, like white petals left overnight in a closed room. There's none of the green brightness you might expect; this jasmine arrives already darkened, heavy with intention.
As it settles, incense smoke begins to drift through, mingling with myrrh's balsamic depth. The florals never disappear, but they're gradually wrapped in something more ceremonial, resinous and almost medicinal at the edges. What emerges is a strange hybrid: part hothouse flower, part temple interior.
This is for those who find standard florals too polite and want something with gravity. It feels less like a fragrance worn for others and more like a private ritual—intimate, slightly mysterious, unapologetically intense.
