The weight sits entirely in the base: Tolu balsam, incense and tonka bean fill all eight hours, while juniper and clary sage light nothing more than the opening. A balsamic density that wants cold weather — autumn and winter, from everyday wear to formal rooms, with a clear but unexcessive trail.

Not rated yet — be the firstTolu balsam is the subject here rather than the seasoning: a warm resin with vanillic, cinnamic edges, laid over frankincense and amber. Juniper and clary sage open on a green note that keeps the whole thing well clear of syrup. A cold-weather scent.
