Burning Core

by Mathieu Nardin

Agarthi Burning Core is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Mathieu Nardin. The fragrance opens with Milk, Ginger, and Solar Note, settles into a heart of Benzoin, Vanilla, and Cade, and dries down to a base of Gourmand, Leather, and Vanilla.

Our verdict on Burning Core: Acquired

This gingerbread-and-smoke combo is seriously divisive. Some find it a beautifully balanced, artistic take on warmth, while others are completely repulsed by an overpowering, burnt note from the cade oil. Sample before you commit to this tricky beast.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its intimate projection means it won't offend in an office, but the unique lactonic, smoky gourmand leans more towards casual or date night wear. It's a bit too unconventional for most formal settings and utterly unsuitable for sport.

About

Burning Core opens with a bold hit of fresh ginger and a creamy, lactonic milk note, quickly warmed by a unique solar accord that adds a touch of brightness. The heart unfolds with deep, smoky cade oil and the resinous warmth of benzoin, balanced by a hint of vanilla. The base settles into a rich, sweet gourmand leather, reminiscent of toasted sugar, but still underpinned by that distinctive, almost campfire-like smokiness.
