Metaphysical

The black-white review is spot on imo. The peppers are quite strong, but beautifully supported by softer notes.

Lightly spicy, intensely woody. I can clearly pick up on the cumin here which gives this a dry texture.

Soft, light sandalwood. Airy, not dense. Frankincense is perceptible. A little sweet. Violet leaf gives it fresh touches.

So beautiful. This is smoky with a freshness from lemongrass. Has a dry quality (vetiver?). Introverted, contemplative.

I don't care too much for the fresh opening, but do really like the dusty, soft spicy-woody drydown. Unfortunately this is very soft on me.
