A smoky resinous opening of myrrh, frankincense, and olibanum sets a sacred, slightly bitter tone from the first minute, more temple than perfumery.

By the editors · 2 min readA smoky resinous opening of myrrh, frankincense, and olibanum sets a sacred, slightly bitter tone from the first minute, more temple than perfumery.
The heart deepens with guaiac wood's smoky-honeyed warmth, honey itself adding a sticky animalic sweetness, and clove lending a clean warm-spicy edge. The honey-clove-guaiac braid in the middle gives the composition a sweetened smoke character, dense and slightly leathery.
The drydown is the heart of it: sandalwood, leather, benzoin, tobacco, papyrus, and styrax braided into a balsamic-tobacco-leather warmth, the styrax adding a balsamic resin and the papyrus a dry green-smoky thread. The overall reading is a dense smoky-leather oriental with a honey-tobacco core, contemplative and warm. Projection strong, longevity excellent, built for cold-weather evening and formal contexts.
