In the beginning, this is as sleek and impervious as the hideout of a Bond supervillian. Sharp aldehydes and frozen metal offer a chilly sophistication that feels like it's from a glossy version of the future that includes jet packs and robot valets. But under the slick ice is a warm and woody heart just waiting for the thaw - a blend of resinous elemi, earthy patchouli and robust cedar. The elemi note is particularly vivid -- this unique incense note has a clarifying briskness with undertones of fresh citrus and a hint of salt. The energizing incense and the cool metallic bite play together unexpectedly well, and what begins as a novelty evolves into a surprisingly wearable scent that has a wonderful balance of cool and warm that keeps it dynamic. A must-try for incense fans and for anyone who loves unusual fragrances.
