Terror & Magnificence

Terror & Magnificence divides the fragrance community with its bold interpretation of gothic architecture through scent. This masterful composition opens with intense birch tar smoke, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of ancient stone churches and burning incense. The interplay of frankincense, kyphi, and myrrh adds a sacred dimension, while vetiver and benzoin provide a dark, grounding base. While praised for its artistic vision and exceptional longevity, some find its powerful smoky character overwhelming. This is not an everyday scent, but rather a transformative olfactory experience best suited for cold evenings and those who dare to embrace its dark magnificence.
