Ashes

Ashes opens with wormwood's sharp green bite and clove's warm spice, a smoky herald that pulls toward something ancient. Atlas cedar and Virginia cedar emerge as the initial sharpness softens, their dry resinous bodies grounding the composition while guaiac wood adds a leather-tinged depth. Patchouli weaves through the middle, earthy and textured, before amber and incense settle in—a smoldering base that feels less perfume and more ash-strewn ritual, musk threading it all together into something contemplative and worn.
