Sacreste Eau de Parfum - Laboratorio Olfattivo
The sacristy of an old church.
Elemi and labdanum open resinous, cardamom and saffron adding spice. Incense takes the heart with black pepper and cypriol around it, made sensual rather than austere. Guaiac wood, Virginia cedar, amber and cashmeran close it. Eight years of trying, and Luca Maffei's incense finally arrived.
