Struck-match smoke over juniper, labdanum and cardamom, with wild berries lending a dark fruit edge. It reads smoky and resinous, woody-aromatic with a charred glow. Brooding and atmospheric, holding a steady smolder.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin.

Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
