DROP I — INCENSO
Traces smoke across places and rituals—from Taoist temples
to Orthodox churches—distilling ember, metal, stone, and tea
into four blends. Each lingers on skin, built from dark woods,
minerals, and raw resins, then left to mature like good wine.
Dry wood, resin, and thin smoke drifting through a temple hall. Carved timber, altar air, and the cool scent of wet stone along a mossy stone trail. A faint dusting of ash from burnt joss paper.
Key notes: temple incense dust, aged sandalwood, joss paper ash, damp stone
Dense incense rising from embers. Resin, leathered wood, and the weight of candle smoke trapped inside stone walls.
Key notes: rusty brass, sacred resin, ember smoke, wax-worn air
A dark, intimate floral wrapped in smoke. Rose and jasmine pressed into warm wood with a faint trace of spice.
Key notes: dusk rose, soft smoke veil, warm spice, aged wood
Dry smoke drifting from a porcelain cup. Charred leaves, warm wood, and the calm bitterness of lapsang rising in thin, steady curls.
Key notes: smoked tea leaf, tannic heat, kiln-dried wood, faint ash swirl
