Baque

Baque opens with a bold, almost brutal, blast of boozy tobacco, reminiscent of aged whiskey and pipe smoke, immediately signalling its potent intent. This powerful introduction quickly melds with the lush sweetness of stewed apricot and dried fruits, creating a rich, syrupy depth that's both comforting and a touch unsettling. As it evolves, a dry, papery cedar emerges, weaving through the thick, ambergris-driven base, lending a musky, slightly salty nuance. The artemisia adds a subtle herbaceous, bitter edge, ensuring the sweetness never becomes cloying and maintaining a fascinating tension throughout its formidable lifespan.
