Myrrh and frankincense are often associated with religious rituals or buildings, given its prevalence in those settings. It feels remarkable that, without compromising the notes' distinctive characters, "Falling Trees" manages to nudge them in a different direction. Juniper and black pepper accentuate frankincense's piney and slightly spicy facets, while the additional warm resinous notes tame its smokiness. There's also a mossy quality to it, like a coniferous forest right after gentle rainfall.
It's dark, intriguing, and smells wonderfully natural.
On my skin, the fragrance's performance is passable. After six and a half hours, I can smell the scent within five or so centimeters of the spot on which I applied it.
Also, a quick note: they might've have changed the design of the bottle. As far as I can tell, it now matches the look of newer releases like, e.g., Nitesurf Neroli. I preferred the previous look a little bit, but I find the newer one also quite nice.
