Incense + Cardamom
Fragrance notes
Character
Cardamom arrives first, bright and slightly resinous, with lime cutting the edge so the spice does not feel heavy. Pink pepper adds a crisp bite that keeps the opening alert. Nutmeg rounds the corners without dulling the spark.
Mastic lends a pine-like greenness that feels dry and clean beside the deepening smoke of frankincense. Black pepper sharpens the heart, while the woody accord grows denser as sandalwood and ebony settle in. Haitian vetiver brings an earthy, root-like texture that grounds the balsamic warmth of labdanum. Musk softens the edges just enough to keep the profile from turning completely austere.
The amber and powdery facets give it a candlelit warmth, the kind of scent that fits a room with dark wood furniture and a cold window. It suits someone who likes spice without sweetness and smoke without ash. Luca Maffei composed a fragrance that feels like standing near a stone hearth while rain hits the glass.
