This perfume presents a highly distinctive, modern take on frankincense and aldehydes, evoking a cool, airy, metallic aura reminiscent of urban glass and steel environments. The opening is dominated by sharp aldehydes and violet leaf, creating a vibrant, almost effervescent sensation that feels both futuristic and intentional. The central accord—iris, olibanum (frankincense), and cedar—gives it a unique woody-amber profile that feels refreshingly abstract, with ties to Serge Lutens’ incense-inspired scents. Longevity is moderate, with a fade after a few hours, and sillage is moderate to strong, making it noticeable and comfortable in summer days. The scent is not loud or overtly sweet, making it ideal for those seeking a refined, intellectual fragrance that embodies quiet sophistication and modern elegance.
