A Celtic Cross of Cards
In obscure drops of warm resin, you lay out a Celtic cross. You gaze at black honey that emerges from the darkness. There, points of brown cinnamon glow. You sense a fruit that dwells far within. Soon, your eyes adjust to the dark. Then you see the boswellian balm dancing like tiny grains in the dim light, spicy-red and sweet-brown pearls wafting through the chamber like warm dust on threads of saffron smoke and cardamom. Through the yellowed cards, you can see the tabletop, the resin light drops reflecting in it, as well as musty, swollen, foggy spots that gradually crumble into damp earth. There leads the path of all seekers.

Oleg Grabchuk, the creative mind behind G Parfums, lives and works in Kyiv. "Incense in an unusual sound. In this fragrance, I combined 5 types of incense, balsams and my favorite heard [resin] to get a warm, mysterious and non-trivial Tarot." he describes "Tarot" himself.
Indeed, this incense scent is uniquely layered and transparent, yet profound and dark at the same time. It thrives on the contrasts of balsamic sweetness and herbaceous, woody-spicy earthiness of its resins, woods, spices, and plants. Initially, the dark, slightly fruity honey aromas of labdanum and the cinnamon notes of Peru balsam come to the fore, but increasingly, it is the incense resins of the Boswellia tree that dominate the fragrance, with the sweet-balsamic notes of the African varieties from labdanum being supported by the woody-spicy facets of the Indian type of saffron and cardamom. Moist-earthy-bitter patchouli notes and a dark-aromatic cedar increasingly draw the impression into the more robust.
This "Tarot" is a "Tarock" in the most original sense, a "trump" in terms of incense scent, which remains moderately to skin-close perceptible for several hours.
