What it smells like

The Scent File profile

Opens with sharp, almost medicinal frankincense cut through smoky incense — cold and austere for the first twenty minutes. As it settles, dried fruits and amber push forward, softening the resinous edge into something richer and more approachable without losing the smoke. The tobacco note anchors the heart, lending a dry, slightly leathery depth. The dry-down is where it earns its keep: a dense, smoldering amber-resin base with real staying power and close-to-skin sillage that lingers for hours. — Best worn in deep autumn or winter evenings, for anyone who wants a dark, contemplative oriental without sweetness taking over.
