Io Resisto! by Zanini is a dense, smoky incense fragrance built on dark resins and dry saffron. A citrusy burst of yuzu opens the scent, which quickly transitions into deep, warm myrrh and frankincense. It is designed for those who appreciate meditative, woody compositions with an artistic, unconventional edge.
