01 / THE CHARACTER

WHAT TO NOTICE.

A resin note need not smell of smoke, and a smoky accord need not be strongly resinous. Compare an airy resin-based fragrance with an ember-like woody composition and notice the contrast.

02 / FRAGRANCE IN CONTEXT

WHY IT CAN CHANGE.

undefined There can be several aromatic interpretations of one familiar note name; a finished formula is the real point of comparison.

03 / THE HOUSE OF XASIS
