Cozy in warm weather

One of my comfort scents. It cradles me to sleep. It is a little sweet but keeps the smokiness of opoponax and the lemony quality of frankincense in the background. I find it smells better in warm weather, because it mellows down the sharp scent of incense. I didn't know it had pink pepper in the opening but that explains why it tingles my nose a bit.

Initially rather citrusy-bright,
later a green-tinged incense.
Slightly sweet.
The hoped-for resins Opoponax and Benzoin
only come later...

The namesake opoponax plays a minor role here, while frankincense and cistus take the lead. Pepper wafts spicily in

Opoponax has a myrrh-like scent that one might imagine here, but bright frankincense and labdanum dominate.

Cozy warm Opoponax resin sweetened further by benzoin, surrounded by tangy labdanum & church incense, is quite nice.

Very pleasant and appealing resin scent, with woody undertones and airy incense. The sweetness doesn't bother me at all.

Opoponax is new to me. I like the resinous sweetness, incense pairs well, as does labdanum, benzoin, and pink pepper. A fine composition.

Harmony in pastel - smoky. Balm on a resinous base. Delicate cistus glow lets it shimmer softly. Opoponax always present - GOOD!!

I couldn't quite articulate the somehow pleasant "waxy, rancid greasy" vibe. Google calls it animalistic, forest mushroom-like. *

Spicy, warm with a hint of the forest, pepper is subtle, incense is discreet, overall quite mild.
