Full Incense
Incense holds the base and everything else is arranged around it: elemi and clove to open it, aldehydes and cedar to air it out, cistus and vanilla to soften it.
Groove Xcape
Four resins in one perfume: myrrh, elemi, benzoin and labdanum. Incense binds them together, ginger and pepper give them bite, mimosa a moment of light.
