Real talk
The opening is a dare. Galbanum and fenugreek hit with an herbal sharpness that some people compare to curry paste, others compare to medicine, and both are right. It's not immediately likable.Opus VII – Reckless Leather
If smoky leather makes you nervous, walk past this one. For everyone else: the somali frankincense does something rare, it's incense that smells expensive, not ecclesiastical.Black Incense Malaki
