Resinous is smoke turned solid — frankincense, myrrh, opoponax, the great resins burned in temples since before history was written. These notes carry the longest memory in perfumery; humans have been smelling them ritually for thousands of years. There is something inherently ceremonial about resinous accords: they feel like presence-summoning, like the kind of fragrance that makes a moment feel marked. The smoke has been preserved in solid form, ready to release at body temperature. Wear resinous when you want a fragrance that suggests ritual, that takes itself seriously without being heavy.
