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
