By the editors · 2 min readGalbanum snaps open with bitter-green sap, sharp enough to cut through winter air. Cinnamon quickly swirls in, adding dry heat that warms the resinous bite while freesia keeps the heart airy rather than syrupy. Frankincense and patchouli build a smoky, earthy base that smells like scorched pine needles and cooled ember dust, the patchouli lending a cocoa-dark earthiness that anchors the incense. Over hours the green flash subsides and the fragrance settles into a muted, resinous skin scent where cinnamon re-emerges as a gentle glow rather than a spice rack blast. Projection stays within arm’s length, making it a cool-weather companion for offices or brisk walks.
