By the editors · 2 min readSmoke billows first, dense and roasted, then hazelnut cracks through with oily sweetness that tames the char. Coffee arrives dark and bitter, anchoring the haze while ylang-ylang spills creamy banana brightness across the heart, its banana custard lift cutting the roast. Honey pours next, thick and animalic, glazing iris into a powdery suede veil that softens cedar’s dry splinters. Myrrh and labdanum merge into a resinous amber glow, their incense stick warmth pulling patchouli up from earth to leather, leaving a trail of roasted nuts dipped in sweet tar. Projection hovers arm-length for eight hours, ideal for cool autumn nights or a crowded lounge.
