Clove and gunpowder over burning paper.
It opens acrid and metallic, with iris and a scorched paper accord holding the middle, then settles into black vanilla, tonka, guaiac and cedar with a hot metal edge that never fully leaves.
Perfumed by: Margaux Le Paih Guérin
KSI Take: Genuinely confrontational for the first twenty minutes and then unexpectedly sweet, which is the entire point. Anyone hoping for a comfortable Armenian paper scent should look elsewhere, because this one is built on tension.
