The story

Calamus, taken somewhere darker.

Calamus opens bright and herbal-sweet, cut with Malabar pepper and dry papyrus. Labdanum and cistus turn the heart resinous, with rose and osmanthus adding a little bloom. Cade and frankincense bring smoke, and Mexican vanilla keeps the finish from turning bitter.
