Minty, Resinous, Spiritual
I built Nom de Guerre around Boswellia sacra frankincense from Oman. I wanted to reimagine incense beyond cold, clinical associations while keeping its spiritual origin intact. This is my night-to-dawn fragrance.
To open the scent with clarity, I used a trace of spearmint as a cool, camphoric lift that brightens the incense and makes it feel alive on your skin. Wild lavender gives the perfume diffusion and breath, fresh and herbaceous, lifting the resinous core. To warm the structure, I chose angelica root, earthy and golden, sitting beside frankincense and opopanax. Vetiver anchors everything without adding weight.
The result is incense made luminous, sheer, and modern.

Natural materials and batch variation
Because each bottle is made with a high proportion of natural materials and hand-finished in our atelier, slight variations in colour and aroma may occur between batches. This is normal, and part of what makes each bottle unique.
Precautions
This product contains high proportion of natural extracts. Minor colour variations or suspended particles may occur and do not affect quality. Protect from direct light and heat.
Ingredient notice
I occasionally update my formulas. Before use, please read the ingredient list on the product packaging to ensure it is suitable for your personal use.
Nom de Guerre is about metamorphosis, not war. What we discover when we are asked to endure.
