In short
A fizzing, peppery citrus over a transparent frankincense, drying to pale cedar and clean musk.
Concept
Incense burning in a sunlit room with a bowl of oranges on the table. The Bright Resin accord makes frankincense luminous; more citrus — blood orange, bitter orange, yuzu — and cold black pepper make it daylight; a pale cedar-musk base makes it weightless.

Safety and compliance
- Status. Regulatory assessment pending. No formula-level safety assessment is documented yet, so this page does not say the formula is compliant for any use.
- IFRA Standards. The IFRA Standards Library covers 5 of its materials: Vetiveryl Acetate (Restriction: Acetylated Vetiver oil, Amendment 49); Bitter Orange Oil (Expressed) (Restriction: Bitter orange peel oil expressed, Amendment 49); Linalool (Specification: Linalool, Amendment 38); Lemon Oil (Cold-Pressed) (Restriction: Lemon oil cold pressed, Amendment 49); Pomarose (Restriction: 2,5-Octadien-4-one, 5,6,7-trimethyl-, (2E)-, Amendment 51).
- Phototoxicity. Bitter Orange Oil (Expressed), Lemon Oil (Cold-Pressed) are phototoxic; IFRA limits phototoxic materials in products left on skin exposed to sunlight.
- Skin sensitisation. EU-labelled fragrance allergens present as ingredients: Linalool. Natural materials carry further allergens as constituents, declared from the supplier’s data, and Regulation (EU) 2023/1545 extends the list to be labelled on products placed on the EU market from 31 July 2026.
- Product category. Limits depend on the product: fine fragrance, leave-on and rinse-off products have different IFRA categories, and each Standard sets its own figure for each.
