By the editors · 2 min readIncense and frankincense dominate from the start, producing a dry, resinous smoke that fills the air with a distinctly ceremonial quality. Rose is present but reads as muted, filtered through the heavy resinous atmosphere rather than standing clearly on its own.
As the fragrance develops, myrrh and ambergris deepen the base alongside cedar and patchouli. The myrrh adds a bittersweet, slightly medicinal quality, while ambergris brings a subtle warmth. Vetiver provides an earthy, woody underpinning that keeps the composition from becoming too heavy.
The overall character is dark, smoky, and balsamic — best suited to evening wear in cold weather where its intensity reads as intentional rather than overwhelming.
