Autumn in Lhoka

Autumn in Lhoka opens with a sharp, almost medicinal brightness—cinnamon leaf and black pepper spark against honeyed saffron warmth. The heart settles into something earthier, grain-like and woody, as if bran and barley dust catch against cool balsam fir. A dark, resinous base emerges gradually: patchouli grounds the whole thing while birch tar lends a burnt, almost smoky mineral edge, held together by incense that feels less perfume-sweet and more temple-still. This is spice meeting soil.
