The story

What remains.

Blackcurrant and sweet orange open tart, cut almost immediately by smoke and tobacco leaf. Scots pine, clove and mastic build a resinous heart. Then incense and patchouli take over completely, dry and cold over guaiac and sandalwood. Less a perfume than an empty church.

How it wears

Top notes greet you, the heart settles in over the first hour, and the base is what stays on skin at the end of the evening.
