The evocation of a polychrome wood, inspired by Black Africa and the Art of Baoulé, where greedy and bitter notes collide in the heat of a ritual fire ... A burning breath of caramel and grilled hazelnuts full of spices, fuels the burning of vetiver, Tolu and bitter orange. Bewitching scrolls of incense mixed with liquorice envelop a Wengue brazier, dry grass and resins. Coffee, Caramel, Toasted Notes, Cashmeran, Resins." - a note from the brand.

A Signature Fragrance
Resins
Resins are the aromatic exudates from trees and plants, capturing the essence of their environment. They emit a complex scent profile that ranges from resinous and woody to sweet and balsamic, with hints of incense or amber. This depth makes them indispensable in perfumery for adding layers of complexity.
Caramel
Caramel is the essence of burnt sugar, a deep, golden hue that hints at the sweet heat of baking. This note captures the complexity of caramelization, where the initial sweetness evolves into a deeper, almost smoky warmth. Its origins are as varied as its applications in perfumery, often derived from natural extracts or synthetic compounds to mimic the depth and richness of the real thing.
Hazelnut
Hazelnut, with its rich, creamy aroma reminiscent of roasted nuts and a hint of sweetness, originates from the kernels of hazel trees. This versatile note adds a comforting warmth to fragrances, evoking feelings of comfort and indulgence without overwhelming the senses.
