Encens de Babylone | Romduft

The woody depth of the gaïac really anchors the scent, and the artemisia gives it this dry, almost herbal lift that fills my hallway without feeling heavy. I simply placed the bottle open on a shelf and the whole studio smelled like an ancient temple for two days straight.

I lit a few drops in my living room and the gaïac wood carried the whole space somewhere ancient and calm—exactly the sacred vibe I was after. The scent stays true for hours without turning synthetic, and the bottle's cap seals tight so nothing leaks between uses.

The artemisia note is what sold me—it’s herbal and almost bitter, but it settles into something really warm with the guaiac. I’ve been spritzing it in the hallway and the scent lingers for hours without getting cloying.
