By the editors · 2 min readLemon introduces a bright citrus spark that quickly recedes behind basil's herbal greenness and vetiver's earthy dryness. Myrrh adds a balsamic, slightly smoky resinous quality that deepens the heart accord. Sandalwood provides a creamy woody base, while frankincense contributes a clean, church-incense smokiness that lifts the composition. Patchouli grounds the dry-down with its characteristic earthy, slightly sweet woodiness, creating a dry, contemplative finish. The scent evolves linearly from fresh-herbal to woody-balsamic over three hours, with projection staying moderate and intimate. Longevity reaches about five hours, suited for spring or fall casual wear in mild weather.
