Irae

Irae unfolds with chocolate's deep earthiness and bergamot's bright snap, then grows restless—wormwood turns bitter-green while Sichuan pepper crackles across the skin like static electricity, hot iron lending an almost metallic mineral edge. Below, palisander rosewood anchors everything in warm, creeping woodsmoke while amber softens into amber-coated shadows and oak grounds the whole arc in something solid, almost architectural. Tonka's vanilla sweetness threads through, never dominating, just lending warmth to a composition that feels tense and immaculate.
