Resinous woods sharpened by dry spice and a whisper of cocoa
Cypress and juniper provide a crisp, needle-sharp opening, cut through by the immediate warmth of pink pepper and cardamom. The character shifts as it settles, moving from aromatic heights into a heart where bitter cocoa softens the transition to a dense, resinous base. Hojari frankincense anchors the composition, pulling a trail of smoke through the sandalwood and cedarwood. It sits close but persistent, a dry, sophisticated presence that relies on the natural gravity of palo santo and bourbon vanilla to linger on the skin for hours beyond the initial application.
