Notes - Smoky Incense, Amber, Clove, Tobacco, Guaiacwood, Labdanum, Holy Basil, Leather

Inspired by the rising incense smoke of sacred resins on glowing embers and the hypnotic chants of monks, Temple is a fragrance steeped in mysticism and reverence.

The scent opens with the peppery freshness of Holy Basil and rich Tobacco, evoking the air of an ancient sanctuary. As the fragrance unfolds, spiced Clove and smoldering Guaiacwood add depth, leading into a warm, resinous base of Labdanum and Leather. These deep, grounding notes linger like the memory of sacred ceremonies, enveloping the wearer in an aura of tranquility and devotion.

A tribute to Khmer spirituality and tradition, Temple transports you to a realm where the divine meets the earthly, capturing the essence of Cambodia’s timeless rituals.
