Tenebrae 26

Tenebrae 26 by L'Artisan Parfumeur presents a cool, woody-green olfactory journey that evokes a dense, enchanted forest under winter's cloak. It opens with crisp fir, olibanum, and an earthy resinous core, creating a fresh, transparent aura much like walking through a Nordic pine glade—however, the notes don’t linger. Many appreciate its lightness, elegance, and unisex character, noting comparisons to Le Labo’s Hinoki body products and Thé Noir 29 for its sweetened woods and incense play. The scent is described as secretive, subtle, and introspective—more of a whisper than a statement. Some find lingering elements of synthetic musks or ambroxan, while others report a loss of texture after the initial phase, suggesting a scent that’s more atmospheric than enduring.
