Material is a paradox – through materiality, it evokes immateriality, teaching us to look beyond appearances and to realise that what matte rs is often unseen; an experience akin to standing in a grove and seeing in the sweltering shade a multitude of textures and manifold hues of wood and leaf and bark; all coming together into one. Notes include elemi, patchouli, vanilla, benzoin, guaiac wood, oud oil, osmanthus, frankincense, labdanum, and tonka bean.
