Andean wood, dry and golden, with the cold coming off the salt flat.
Cedro coya sets the tone, nogal criollo and cardón build it out dry and resinous in a way that reads closer to desert timber than forest, and sandalwood runs underneath warming the whole thing through.

KSI Take: Named for the animal rather than built to smell like its wool, and the materials are the actual point here, because these are South American woods most houses never touch and it does not smell like anything else on your shelf. The trade off is that it stays quiet and fairly linear, so there is no dramatic arc to wait around for. Wear it in cool dry weather, in daylight, when you want wood with no sweetness attached.
