Heroin

Almond arrives bright and slightly bitter, immediately tempered by absinthe's herbal snap—Heroin by Sapientiae Niche opens with a contradiction, clean yet darkly anise-touched. Ylang-ylang softens into the heart, its creamy floral warmth playing against cedar's dry spine and persistent absinthe. The base unfolds slowly: oakmoss anchors everything in damp earth, leather adds a worn, slightly sweet patina, while patchouli and resin deepen the woody foundation. Vanilla and sandalwood emerge last, creamy and textured, grounding the whole composition in warm, resinous skin.
