Paragon
Lavender and white sage open over bergamot, before a heart of palo santo edged with pepper. Sandalwood and oud close on a dry woody base that nothing sweet comes to soften.
Fars
Lavender and bergamot over cade oil, a heart of cedar and geranium, then a base of amber, patchouli and oud. The cade is what gives the whole thing its smoky edge.
