Frequently Asked Questions about Resin Sacra by Tom Daxon
What does Resin Sacra by Tom Daxon smell like?
Resin Sacra by Tom Daxon features top notes of Suede, middle notes of Olibanum (Frankincense) and Patchouli, and base notes of Ambroxan, Benzoin, Labdanum, Sandalwood, and Vetiver.
I tried this in Harvey Nicks on a recent trip to Edinburgh and it is an extremely decent fragrance. The opening is pure booze with all the delicacy of a fine single malt whisky and like a smother version of Atelier cologne Gold leather, I found this quality to be extremely appealing. As it settles it becomes a warm benzoin amber and suede leather and made me go “huh, I was sort of expecting that from the name but these phases are all great.” Then there’s the main kicker an accord of my favourite note labdanum which is slightly darker more spiced version of frankincense. Then there’s the lighter more uplifting olibanum note itself which basically what this dries down to. I’m really happy with it and describing it as another one trick pony like Avignon or full incense simply doesn’t do resin scare justice, because it’s a more interesting composition than that. Performance is no beast but very exceptable for an expensive but not extortionate fragrance.
