Oriental

Imagine walking into a candlelit room where incense has been burning for hours—that's your first impression. Gurjum balsam smells warm, resinous, and faintly medicinal, like a cross between cedarwood and benzoin, but earthier. There's a subtle sweetness underneath, almost vanilla-like, paired with a slightly woody, almost smoky character. It's dense and enveloping, reminiscent of old libraries or temple interiors—comforting yet slightly austere, never cloying or aggressively sweet. It clings to your skin with intimate warmth rather than announcing itself loudly.
