Description
To say that a fragrance has the power to transport implies a strong sense of place; the salty ocean, the lush forest, a flower-filled meadow. Oliver & Co.’s hypnotic Resina, on the other hand, transports the wearer not only to a different place, but also to a different time, a sultry and mystical forest of the ancients where the miraculous is commonplace, and beauty and wisdom are inextricably intertwined.
Opening with an attention-catching burst of ginger and star anise, Resina quickly fills out with an opulent accord of precious woods and resins: tolu balsalm, elemi, frankincense, myrrh, labdanum. A subtle undercurrent of coffee and jasmine only furthers the sensation of exploring an earthy, mist-filled forest, brimming with ancestral knowledge. Spicy without a hint of stuffiness, rich and woody while not the least bit sweet, Resina reveals her secrets only to those who can prove themselves truly worthy.
