No varnish
Smoky, resinous, and unapologetically dry. No vanilla rescue here, no sweetness to smooth the edges. Either you want amber doing honest work, or you don't.Ambre Noir
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
