The Forbidden Temple
Fragrance notes
Character
The Forbidden Temple fits a quiet Sunday morning when the rest of the house is still asleep. It also works for someone walking through a cool garden path with hands in their pockets. The person who reaches for this bottle enjoys scents that feel grounded and calm. It suits a wearer who prefers a fragrance that complements a peaceful mood rather than dominating the room.
Apricot sits beside green tea and black tea in a way that feels soft and inviting. Jasmine adds a white floral touch that blends into the mix. Sandalwood, hinoki wood, bois d'encens, incense, myrrh, and frankincense create a deep woody and balsamic heart. Musk ties the accord list together with a powdery finish. The amber and warm spicy accords give the fragrance a golden tone. It feels aromatic and fresh spicy at the same time as it feels green.
The overall impression is like standing inside a wooden structure filled with dried petals and polished planks. Light hits the grain of the hinoki and the resinous smoke of the incense. The fruity edge of the apricot catches the eye without pulling attention away from the resin. This is a fragrance built from wood, flower, and fruit sitting together on a single surface.
