Naomi Goodsir Bois D'Ascense

A bold, mystical fragrance that melds smoky ritual with warming boozy sweetness. Bois d’Ascèse opens with whisky and tobacco, immediately setting a deep, evocative tone. Heart notes of cinnamon, amber, and labdanum smooth out the edges with a plush, resinous glow. In the base, notes of Somalian incense, cade wood, cedar, and oakmoss build a rich, lingering smoke-wood husk that carries both warmth and incense. This scent feels like being in an old wooden church by candlelight, watching dusk settle while firelight dances on the walls.
