Warm, dry balsamic resin with a distinctive bitter-medicinal edge and smoky, earthy undertones. Opens with a slightly camphoraceous, mushroomy note before settling into a rich, waxy amber-woody base with subtle liquorice sweetness. Signature is its dusty, ancient, church-incense character.AI · claude-opus-4-7
