Altamura • L'Entropiste

The dry-down is where this really shines — that resinous incense note settles into something warm and almost boozy, with the spices keeping it interesting for hours. I keep catching whiffs on my collar well into the evening, and it’s got that classic, grown-up feel without being stuffy.

The sweet orange hits bright up front but that resinous incense underneath is what keeps pulling me back—it’s warm without being heavy. Wore it on a rainy evening and the spices came through just enough to feel cozy, not cloying.

The resinous base is exactly what I hoped for—it sits close to the skin but keeps throwing little warm waves of sweet orange all day. I got it for the incense note and it does not disappoint, feels ancient and modern at once.
