January Scent Project Frankincense, You Are as a Light Under the Snow is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by John Biebel. Frankincense, You Are as a Light Under the Snow settles into a heart of Ice, Bergamot, Lemon, and Cedar. January Scent Project's Frankincense, You Are as a Light Under the Snow carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a brilliantly unique scent that captures the elusive 'snow' note with an earthy, watery realism. It's a bit of a love-it-or-hate-it with the calone, but the frankincense and wood base provide a grounding, almost spiritual quality.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Imagine the last days of winter, where icy air meets thawing earth. It opens with a bright citrus zest, quickly giving way to an aromatic lavender and the cool, almost mineralic scent of ice. The heart reveals a smoky, resinous frankincense with a gentle spice of pink pepper, grounded by a rich blend of cedar and patchouli. A modern touch of ambroxan and calone brings a distinct watery, almost aquatic freshness, settling into a warm, amber-woody base.
