The Story
The Orientalist - Frankincense Edition is a bold, smoky interpretation of the classic Orientalist theme. It opens with a burst of black pepper and pink pepper, then settles into a heart of frankincense and labdanum. The base is a rich blend of oud, leather, and vanilla, creating a dark, resinous scent that lasts all day. This is for those who love intense, meditative fragrances.
