The story

The sacristy of St Peter's.

Virginia cedar opens alone, dry and pencil-like. A marine accord and jasmine give the middle an odd, airy coolness. Then the resins take over — myrrh, benzoin, incense and amber, dense and institutional. The most austere thing in the collection.

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.
