By the editors · 2 min readFrankincense leads with a lemon-peel brightness that quickly folds into lilac’s cool, powdery petals. The floral resin tandem hovers above a clean blond-wood platform, letting the incense read airy rather than churchy. Vanilla arrives late, warming the wood and rounding the lilac so the composition tilts softly sweet, almost almond-skin creamy, yet stays dry enough to avoid dessert territory. Sillage remains polite, a skin-close aura perfect for office days or travel in cool spring weather, where the incense facet can bloom without overheating. Projection drops after three hours, leaving a faint vanillic wood trail that feels crafted for quiet proximity rather than statement.
