By the editors · 2 min readOpens with a dense, almost edible balsamic warmth: benzoin's vanilla-resin character laid down thick from the first second. There is no real top, just a soft sweet smoke.
The heart pulls in ambergris saltiness against more benzoin and a touch of vanilla, building a creamy, slightly animalic plush that reads as old apothecary jar rather than dessert. The composition gets weightier rather than lighter as it develops.
Leather, guaiac wood, and opoponax close it down into a smoky, resin-cured drydown with a tobacco-leaf undertone. Heavy, slow, and constructed to sit low and warm against skin in cold weather. A lacquered, ceremonial register throughout.
