Scent Journey
1
Opening0-30 min
The first 30 minutes are dominated by a striking 'cold' sensation from the metallic notes, immediately cut by the resinous, lemony-pine facets of elemi and a sharp blend of spices.
2
Heart1-2 hrs
Transitioning into the 1-2 hour mark, the fragrance softens as orange blossom provides a floral bridge to a smoky heart of incense and earthy patchouli.
3
Drydown4+ hrs
After 4 hours, the scent settles into its primary identity: a rich, creamy vanilla supported by the salty, mineral warmth of ambergris and the damp, forest-floor texture of moss.
