Application Tips

Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced experience. The smoky top notes are bright but fleeting, so allow it time to settle into its woody base. This fragrance is best worn in cooler weather when its warmth feels most comforting.

The story behind the bottle.

The quiet intensity of an afternoon in a dimly lit study, where the scent of incense and eucalyptus fills the air with a sense of calm and focus.
