Heart Notes: Incense, Heliotrope, Iris 

Base Notes: Musk, Tonka Bean, Vanilla

What it smells like

Chronicles opens with a spicy resinous blend of elemi and myrrh complemented by a spark of pink pepper for brightness. The heart brings smoky incense grounded by powdery heliotrope and iris, adding subtle floral depth. The dry down is warm and creamy with musk, tonka bean and vanilla, giving a rich balsamic vanilla finish that lingers beautifully on skin. 

Community reviewers often describe it as resinous warm and slightly sweet with powdery and smoky facets, suitable for those who enjoy depth and elegance rather than candy‑sweet profiles.
