Incense Ebony

The first spray is smoky and dry, with incense and palo santo sharpened by black pepper and the leafy edge of violet leaf. In the heart, leather and labdanum bring warmth, cade oil adds a tarry darkness, and papyrus and rose lift it with a quiet floral note. The base rests on resins, ebony tree and guaiac wood.

It is a contemplative scent, rich and slightly austere, for those who like woody and resinous fragrances with character. Wear it in the evening, to dinners or to quiet gatherings, or at home when you want something grounding. The rose keeps it from feeling too severe, adding a touch of polish to its depth.
