The story

Sun on resin.

Pink pepper and ginger open hot and dry, then it turns smoky and increasingly dense. Cypriol and cashmeran deepen the middle, and styrax, Peru balsam, vetiver and oud make a base that smells burnt in a deliberate way. The oud sits inside the balsams rather than dominating.

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.
