The cumin and castoreum give it a salty, animalic edge that I didn’t expect from a woody resinous scent, and it wears incredibly close to the skin for hours. I keep catching whiffs of that leathery incense warmth hours later, which is exactly the vibe I wanted.
The woody resinous base really anchors the whole thing, and the helichrysum adds this hay-like warmth that I keep catching hours later. It's bold but not aggressive, and the incense note settles into something almost cozy on my skin.
The cumin and castoreum give it this animalic bite that I wasn't expecting, but the ylang-ylang smooths it over into something almost cozy. I sprayed it on my coat three days ago and the incense and immortelle are still clinging to the wool — that resinous trail just keeps giving.
