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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Black Insenso opens with a sharp, spicy kick of pepper and the resinous lift of elemi. This quickly deepens into a rich heart of labdanum and smoky incense, creating a cathedral-like aura. The base is where the magic truly unfolds, with creamy vanilla and sweet benzoin intertwining with the soft caress of cashmere wood, amberwood, and earthy patchouli, providing a velvety, warm finish.
