A resinous, golden haze belongs in a room lit only by candlelight, where the air feels heavy with warmth and intention. Itinerario I opens with bright bergamot and orange blossom that flash like a brief spark before the curtain rises. That citrus is not the point of the fragrance. It is a doorway into something far more anchored, where cedar and frankincense take hold and steer the composition toward a dry, meditative woodiness.
