Blessing Silence

Right out of the gate, you notice the tight balance between four big power players – the deeply tarry, leathery labdanum, the burning oud chip note, the beefy rose, and the pungent patchouli. The powerful notes try at first to duke it out, each hoping to emerge as alpha dog, but in the end, they call a truce.What emerges from the tussle is an incredibly rich, oozing animalic accord of earth, rot, smoke, rose, leather, and resin. It’s an aroma as ancient as perfume itself, a word which, after all, means “through the smoke”.
