Nosferatu
Fragrance notes
Character
Nosferatu opens with palo santo and copal, two resins that introduce a dry, aromatic smoke. The initial impression is clean and slightly citrus, moving quickly into the woody heart of amyris. This central note bridges the bright opening and the heavier base, keeping the composition from becoming too dense too soon. The transition feels smooth, with the resinous quality of the top notes lingering as the wood takes over.
The base reveals tobacco leaf and incense, which give the fragrance its amber and balsamic character. The tobacco is present but not sweet, supported by the warm spicy accord that runs throughout. Smoke remains a constant thread, tying the copal to the final incense drydown. The result is a scent that feels intimate and shadowed, suited to a quiet room lit only by a flickering fire or a late walk under heavy clouds.
It carries a weight that suits someone who prefers resinous woods over fresh citrus or light florals. The sweetness stays low, balanced by the dry smoke and the bitter edge of the tobacco leaf. It feels appropriate for moments that require a serious, grounded presence rather than a bright greeting. The blend settles into a warm, smoky finish dominated by incense.
