About

Rook plunges you into a dark, smoky forest, heavy with burning incense and tarry woods. A sharp, almost rubbery opening of cardamom and ginger cuts through the opulent smoke, leading to a complex dry-down combining animalic nuances of castoreum with earthy vetiver. You might catch glimpses of floral ylang-ylang, but it's quickly enveloped by the brooding, leathery depth.
