About

Opening with a bold, almost churchy frankincense note, tempered by a fresh jab of clove, Deus Ex Petra quickly evolves. The heart introduces the unusual warmth of immortelle blended with the green-sweet character of fig and the cool herbaceousness of clary sage. It settles into a grounding base of earthy vetiver, balsamic fir resin, and clean musk, all kissed by a subtle ambergris that adds an ethereal, slightly salty dimension.
