Real talk
This is the smoke that finds you first, frankincense and labdanum curling close before the amber even thinks about warming. Dry enough to mean it. Sweet enough to stay.Mecca Balsam
This is not the amber of amber-filled cookies or syrups. It is raw, resinous, and aggressively warm, with herbal and savory notes that emerge depending on your skin chemistry.Ambre Sultan
