By the editors · 2 min readRum and smoke arrive together at the opening — the rum reads sweet and slightly syrupy while the smoke is dry, cutting through immediately. The combination signals something deliberately abrasive from the start.
Incense, leather, and birch form a resinous, slightly tarry heart. Guaiac wood adds a rubbery smokiness that amplifies the birch rather than softening it, while frankincense keeps the composition from reading purely as a leather fragrance.
Castoreum in the base introduces an animalic note alongside vetiver's dry earthiness. Amber provides just enough warmth to prevent the whole composition from reading as cold or purely industrial. Best worn in cool, low-humidity conditions.
