Noir

Bright pepper opens onto a heart of iris and violet, weighted by nine base materials — leather, styrax, civet. Powdery and animalic at once, firmly nocturnal.

Red Hoba

Incense carries the whole thing, but iris powders it and keeps it from turning severe. Guaiac wood and sandalwood close wide, with a labdanum keeping everything warm.
