The story

Aldehydes over incense.

Aldehydes and incense essence open bright and smoky at once — an unusual pairing, and the whole point of the fragrance. Guaiac wood, patchouli and cedarwood make the heart dry. Cistus absolute, sandalwood, suede and musk close it. Fabrice Pellegrin, at his most austere.

How it wears

Top notes greet you, the heart settles in over the first hour, and the base is what stays on skin at the end of the evening.
