By the editors · 2 min readNeroli opens bright yet waxy, its citrus petal edge sharpened by hawthorn's dry almond-green facet that keeps the citrus from turning sweet. The heart trades daylight for church air: frankincense arrives cool and mineral, turning the neroli transparent while hawthorn's soft nuttiness clings like pollen on stone. Guaiac wood in the base smolders quietly, its smoky pencil-shaving character fusing with benzoin's warm vanillic resin to create a powdered incense glow that hovers just above skin. Mid-stage feels like sun-bleached wood panels inside a chapel; projection stays polite, a soft cedar-paper trail that lasts six hours. Cool spring or early-fall days, office-safe, works best under layers rather than heat.
