Incense, labdanum, and blackberry form an arresting opening: the incense dusty and sacred, labdanum's dark resinous-honey adding animalic warmth, blackberry's tartness cutting through both and preventing the opening from collapsing into pure ecclesiastical smoke.

By the editors · 2 min readIncense, labdanum, and blackberry form an arresting opening: the incense dusty and sacred, labdanum's dark resinous-honey adding animalic warmth, blackberry's tartness cutting through both and preventing the opening from collapsing into pure ecclesiastical smoke. The combination smells genuinely unusual.
Myrrh, opoponax, cardamom, and iris sustain the resinous darkness in the heart while adding complexity: cardamom providing spiced warmth, iris its characteristic powdery mineral quality, myrrh and opoponax two facets of the same balsamic family at different registers.
Seven base materials — sandalwood, birch, ambergris, two cedars, styrax, and musk — build an exceptionally deep, long-lasting foundation. Ambergris adds warm, marine-animalic presence that lives up to the fragrance's name. Challenging, polarizing, completely without compromise.
