Aroma palette is earthy, resinous, and smoky. Highlights include holy water, juniper and cedar incense smoke, melted candle wax, aged myrrh resin, lilies, and deep aged labdanum. Cathedral Noir, is a profoundly dark and smoky fragrance, evoking the haunting imagery of long-forgotten prayers resonating within the dim recesses of an ancient cathedral. Commencing with thick, dense swirls of juniper and cedar incense smoke, it reveals a fleeting echo of the metallic essence of holy water as it moves deeper on the dry down. Unveiling further layers, it exposes remnants of old melted candle wax, lilies, big bowls of aged myrrh resin, labdanum, and subtle wisps of fire. This is an immersive, dark fragrance that feels akin to unlocking a vial of age-old shadows. It's a shadowy through the rich veils of smoky incense, mature resins, and the eerie yet comforting obscurity of sacred places long abandoned to time. Artist's note: The blend opens with a very pronounced smokiness, akin to a genuine bonfire aroma. Allow it a few minutes to unfurl on the skin to fully appreciate its diverse shades and nuances. This is the scent of scorched bark, glowing embers, and the hush of extinguished flame. Cade imparts its dry, ashen signature, tempered by resinous woods and a mineral shadow. It evokes the atmosphere of fire and smoke. If your frame of reference for smoke is strictly culinary, this may fall outside your lexicon. Cathedral Noir is a fragrance composed of approximately 90% natural materials.
