ロブリオ • メオ・フスチューニ

I was worried the iris would read too cold and powdery on me, but it settles into warm resins and sandalwood within the first hour. The frankincense and immortelle keep it feeling quietly churchy without ever going sharp. Easily the most comforting thing on my shelf right now.

The mate and tobacco give it this smoky, almost tea-like warmth that lingers for hours on my sweater. I expected the immortelle to be sweet but it stays dry and resinous, which is exactly what I wanted for cold evenings. Easily the most interesting thing in my rotation right now.

The iris and frankincense hit first, powdery and churchy in the best way, then it dries down into this soft tobacco and sandalwood thing that lasts a good eight hours on my skin. I've worn a lot of resinous scents and this one actually earns the price.
