A spicy woody — black pepper, chilli, olibanum, sage, cedarwood, vetiver.
Chaos & Calm opens with a sharp, fiery blast of black pepper and chilli — bold and immediate, this isn’t a fragrance that eases you in gently. Precious olibanum and herbal sage move through the heart, bringing a smoky, resinous warmth that starts to temper the heat of the opening. Rich cedarwood and earthy vetiver anchor the base, grounding everything in a deep, woody drydown that lingers well. The contrast between the spiky, spiced top and the calm, earthy finish is what makes this one stand out — it’s a strong, unisex woody-spicy that works particularly well in candles and reed diffusers for anyone building an edgy or masculine-leaning range.
