Cinnabar is a dense, high-definition portrait of the 1970s spice oriental genre. At its core, this fragrance is a glowing amber furnace fueled by a heavy dose of clove and cinnamon. The opening is sharp and expansive, utilizing classic aldehydes and bright citrus notes like bergamot and orange to lift what would otherwise be a very heavy composition. There is a brief, fuzzy sweetness from peach that smooths out the initial bite of the spices, but the "red" character of the scent takes over almost immediately. Wearing Cinnabar feels like being wrapped in a heavy, resinous velvet. As the floral heart of ylang-ylang and jasmine recedes, the fragrance settles into an enduring, balsamic base. The dry down is thick with frankincense, benzoin, and tolu balm, creating a smoky, church-like incense quality that is grounded by the earthiness of patchouli and vetiver. It doesn't shimmer so much as it smolders, leaving a trail of warm vanilla and ambergris that lingers on skin and fabric for an incredible length of time.
