The "Deep Dive"

The Dry-Down

Miraceti gradually warms and softens after the tame and fleeting animalic opening, settling into its core resins of labdanum and myrrh. These resins create an enveloping, sweet, and slightly boozy aroma. At two to three hours, a beautiful musk becomes more prominent, enhancing the fragrance's cozy warmth. Overall, the dry-down maintains a consistent scent bubble close to the skin, making for a subtle yet sweetly comforting finish.
