Frankincense, straight away, dry and a little churchy, with cardamom rubbing warmth into it. Frankincense and cardamom open dry and resinous, no sweetness anywhere near them. Patchouli and vetiver darken the middle, earthy and slightly bitter, the way damp soil smells after rain. Labdanum and cedar finish it leathery and dense, a base with real weight. Cold-weather workwear and evenings that require a jacket. Built for a man who wants presence without sweetness. Carries a generous trail before it banks into an 8-10 hour ember. Hand-poured in small batches in Richardson, TX as an Extrait de Parfum with 30% fragrance oils versus the 15-20% typical of an Eau de Parfum, so a little goes a long way. Reach for it on gala nights, boardroom power moves, and any evening that calls for polish. Made for our Fall selection.
