Notes, explained
Opening
- Smoke Charred and dry. Adds drama fast.
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
Heart
- Fig Green, milky and jammy at once. One of the most interesting fruits in perfume.
- Palo Santo Sweet, resinous holy wood. Smoky with a citrus lift.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Labdanum Sticky, leathery resin. Dark honey and old books.
