Scent Journey
The initial application reveals a crystalline, almost citrus-tinged frankincense. It is bright, cold, and ethereal, evoking the sensation of unlit resin tears freshly harvested from the tree.
After an hour, the sharp edges of the olibanum soften into a dry, structural cedarwood. This is a 'pencil-shavings' cedar—clean, architectural, and grounding, providing a bridge between the heavens and the earth.
The final phase is a masterclass in mossy depth. The oakmoss emerges not as a vintage floral component, but as an inky, damp, and slightly saline floor that anchors the fading resins for hours.
Performance Dashboard
8-12 hours on skin due to the pure oil concentration; it lingers as a persistent aura.
Stays very close to the skin, making it ideal for personal enjoyment or close encounters.
Intimate and personal; it creates a private bubble rather than a trail.
