Resins, incense and smoky woods
Resins can feel sweet and balsamic, while incense and smoky woods bring other textures. Grand Soir and Ambre Sultan offer a resin-led starting point; L’Orpheline, Interlude Man and the woody choices create useful contrasts around it.

How to approach the samples
Try a balsamic composition beside an incense or smoky-wood option. Write down whether sweetness, dryness or smoke holds your attention. Follow the fragrance after its first impression before deciding which direction you want to explore further.
