By the editors · 2 min readIncense leads immediately and directly — there is no soft opening. Styrax adds a balsamic, slightly rubbery density that gives the incense more body than a simple resin would provide alone. The composition reads as deliberately austere from the first moment.
Leather emerges as the two incense materials settle, contributing a dry, slightly charred dimension that reinforces the smoky core rather than contrasting it. There is no sweetness or florality to soften the structure.
The result is stark and linear — incense over leather, held together by styrax throughout. This is a scent built entirely around texture and combustion rather than traditional accord complexity. It wears close and burns slowly.
