It starts as dry wood, like the inside of a freshly split log. Then it deepens into something darker and quietly sweet: worn leather, dark honey, and a smokiness that comes from the wood itself rather than the coal. The frankincense softens into a warm, balsamic glow, and the two settle into each other until you can no longer tell where one ends.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat stays with you\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen the smoke clears, your room keeps a quieter version of it for a day or two: resinous, gently sweet, woody.
