Launched in 2017 by Penhaligon's, Agarbathi is a woody-amber fragrance for men created by perfumer Alex Lee. It opens with the fresh spicy notes of palo santo and pink pepper, which give way to the warm embrace of incense and olibanum. The heart note of jasmine sambac adds an unexpected floral touch, while sandalwood and balsam fir anchor the composition in a smoky, balsamic base. This fragrance is not just a scent but a journey through the layers of aromatic warmth and subtle spice that evoke the essence of incense.
