Gethsemane - Elixir of Faith

Gethsemane opens with sharp green herbalism—basil and bay leaf cut through olive-leaf earthiness, cloves adding warmth. The heart deepens into sacred territory: cypress smoke mingles with incense-like olibanum and nard, while ambrette adds a soft, animalic undertone. Metallic air threads through resinous elemi and pine, grounding everything in stone and wood. As it settles, vetiver and cypriol oil anchor the base in mineral dryness, while leather, castoreum, and oud create a leathered, smoky foundation that feels ancient and grounded in earth. A fragrance of ritual and introspection.
