Obsidian Smokes is a dense woody amber built around aromatic herbs, warm spice, incense, leather and resinous woods. The opening has clary sage, cardamom, cinnamon, cumin and lavender before the scent turns smoky, dry and darker through cedar, leather, labdanum, guaiac wood, patchouli and oud. Early wearer feedback is positive but very limited, so this is best treated as a sample-first fragrance. Show less

Shiseido Basala hits the skin with a sharp, bracing rush of green rosemary, clary sage, and bitter artemisia. It is a dry, red-hued chypre from the early nineties that completely bypasses the clean, aquatic trends of its era. As the initial herbal blast simmers down, a warm wave of cinnamon and carnation emerges, bringing a dusty, fire-warmed depth. The base settles into a heavy, mossy leather anchored by patchouli and labdanum, creating a comforting masculine shield. This is a complex scent for cold autumn nights and formal wool coats. It is a bottle worth hunting down for collectors who value bold, mossy chypres with a distinct Japanese aesthetic of structured restraint. Show less
