The story

The incense of incenses.

Black pepper and cardamom open sharp and dry, jasmine barely softening them. Elemi, labdanum and clove build a resinous, smoky heart that reads unmistakably as church incense. Opoponax, oakmoss and rosewood hold the base dark, with tonka adding a faint sweetness.

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.
