With these words begins the film "Dune, the Desert Planet," by David Lynch.
The story of murder, love, and intrigue takes place on a dry planet where a consciousness-expanding substance is harvested, the Spice-Melange, which brings us to this fragrance.
Beginning/End is not an easy perfume, and one must already enjoy smoky-resinous scents to appreciate this fragrance concept.
In the linear scent progression, myrrh, sandalwood, and patchouli are in focus. I suspect ginger is present at the start, as it is a bit fresher and has a certain sharpness.
Otherwise, Beginning/End unfolds a beautiful, sweet incense-like scent aura.
A little bit, Beginning/End reminded me of Incense by Norma Kamali, only this creation develops much more wearably on my skin.
Another wonderful comment! How on earth can you get your hands on this scent?!?! I haven't been able to find any bottles or samples around here or online.
