By the editors · 2 min readSiene leads with a single, definitive top note — leather — that sets the perfume's whole register before anything else arrives. The heart turns ecclesiastical: frankincense and myrrh laid over patchouli, with iris cutting a cool, slightly powdery line through the resins so the smoke never goes flat.
The base is where the leather and incense make peace. Sandalwood and ambergris soften the smoke, honey adds a beeswax warmth that smells like old wood polish, and amber-musk closes the perfume around the wearer. It reads like a candle-lit room in a stone church — quiet, dense, and slightly ceremonial. Best in cold weather or air-conditioned interiors, evening, when the smoke has space to breathe.
