By the editors · 2 min readIncense and frankincense open with a smoky, balsamic aura heightened by rum's boozy sweetness. Gardenia and tuberose add a rich, floral heart that contrasts with guaiac wood's smoky dryness and tobacco's earthy warmth. Sandalwood, cedar, and styrax create a woody, balsamic base deepened by castoreum's animalic musk and tobacco's persistent presence. The scent evolves complexly from smoky-spicy to a deep, resinous dry-down over several hours. Projection is strong and diffusive, ideal for evening or formal wear in fall and winter cold weather. Longevity is exceptional, lasting well beyond twelve hours on skin.
