By the editors · 2 min readIris opens the composition with a cool, powdery rootlike quality — immediately distinctive and setting the austere tone. The iris feels earthy and mineral rather than purely cosmetic.
Incense, myrrh, and patchouli form the heart — a resinous, slightly smoky middle that intensifies the overall dryness. The layering of incense materials gives the composition significant depth.
Leather, ambergris, amber, honey, and musk occupy the base. Honey is the softest element; leather and amber push toward an animalic, resinous richness. Note prior scores honey highest, with leather, smoky, and balsamic supporting. This is a complex, somber fragrance anchored in incense and leather with a honeyed resolution — best for cool evenings.
