Fragrance notes
Character
Frankincense and myrrh give this blend a resinous weight that feels ancient. Basil and saffron cut through with a sharp, herbal heat. The two roses sit beside jasmine, lending a soft floral breath to the heavy resins. Orris adds a powdery veil that keeps the spices from feeling too raw.
Cambodian oud and patchouli anchor the mix with a dark, earthy depth. Sandalwood smooths the edges, creating a creamy texture against the balsamic accords. Musk lingers near the skin, supporting the woods without pushing outward. The scent stays near the body, moving with you rather than announcing itself from a distance.
Picture a quiet courtyard lit only by lanterns, stone walls holding the day's warmth. The air feels thick with resin and wood, a moment meant for stillness and reflection. It suits someone who enjoys heavy ambers and finds comfort in deep, sacred aromatics. Those who prefer bright citrus or clean laundry scents will feel overwhelmed here.
Olibanum sacra resin green brings a crisp, sap-like edge to the amber foundation. The overall impression is aromatic and woody, with a persistent presence that does not overwhelm a room. It carries the warmth of its ingredients through the evening air. The final impression is a rich, green rose.
