Tolu
Tolu balsam as the subject rather than the seasoning: a warm resin with vanillic, cinnamic edges laid over frankincense and amber. Juniper and clary sage open it green, well clear of syrup.
Opium
The spiced oriental that caused a scandal on release, name included. Spicy carnation, amber and patchouli: a power perfumery no longer dared.
