Notes, explained
Opening
- Cherry Sweet, syrupy and a bit almondy. Currently everywhere.
- Cinnamon Sweet heat. Reads festive, sometimes to a fault.
Heart
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
- Beeswax Honeyed and waxy with a faint barnyard hum underneath.
- Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
Dry-down
- Smoke Charred and dry. Adds drama fast.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
