Here's a note from our perfumers Michael Nordstrand and Joey Rosin:

The hero note of Outer Realm is Incense; you can smell it from the opening clearly through all stages of the fragrance’s evolution. We chose to highlight Incense extracts because of the vast array of choices in the perfumer’s palette but also because of its ancient connection to spirituality and worlds beyond our own. Its inherently kinetic olfactory profile also felt really tactile, and you can sense that when you wear it.

The effervescence of Citron & Bergamot gives a brightness and clarity to the opening, alongside Juniper Leaves & Mountain Pepper, which lend a greener shading to the top and heart note. These materials also
share important characteristics with Incense, so they were natural choices.

A big duality in the fragrance comes from a jewel-like heart note we hid within the Incense: a watery, spicy Lotus Flower dressed in leathery Saffron lingers just beneath the surface, warmed by notes of rich Amber and fiery Cedarwood Embers that comprise the base note.
