Resin Sacra Eau de Parfum

A meditation on the beauty of the ambiguous nature of frankincense. An evocative shape-shifter, this tantalizing blend takes advantage of the diversity of its central ingredient to offer an experience both cool and church-like, and warm and sensual. A honeyed suede ? sweet, soft and rich ? cradles the frankincense as it emerges, creating an air of delicious opulence as resinous swirls of benzoin and cistus meld with the frankincense, leading it away from the gothic chill of stone and ceremony and celebrating its mesmerizing sensuality. And yet as the fragrance warms on the skin, the sweetness becomes less pronounced, and the transporting, ethereal side of frankincense emerges. We never cross fully to the sacred side, but those aspects of this compelling note keep the luxury in balance. Gorgeous and mystical.
