Luban
Fragrance notes
Character
Mandarin orange opens Luban with a bright, juicy lift. Aldehydes add a clean, airy shimmer that keeps the citrus from feeling heavy. Angelica brings a fresh, green edge that sits beside the mate and tea notes. The tea accord is calm and slightly dry, offering a soft contrast to the orange.
Frankincense takes over the heart with a resinous, slightly solemn character. Magnolia floats through with a creamy floral touch that never dominates. Ink is the unexpected element here, lending a dark, mineral streak that feels more like graphite than stationery. Patchouli and cedar anchor the base with earthy depth, while labdanum and amber provide a warm, golden glow. Vetiver adds a rooty, grassy finish that keeps the incense grounded.
Luban feels at home in a quiet study or a candlelit evening. It suits someone drawn to resinous woods and aromatic greens over sweet gourmands. Wear it when the mood calls for something contemplative and slightly austere.
