Composed by Dorthe & Martin Van Wylich Neuert
Escaping the city doesn't end in a spa hotel here, but by a fire whose embers cling to skin, wood, and clothes. BJØRN PARFUME Holy Smoke returns to the wild through wormwood, spices, leather, and oud.
Wormwood, green cardamom, and saffron open the Eau de Parfum with a bitter, aromatic, and warm scent. Wormwood provides a raw herbal sharpness, and saffron a dry leathery edge.
Cashmeran introduces a soft woody texture before leather and oud emerge in full force. The scent becomes darker, but green cardamom still leaves a little cool air among the trees.
Dorthe and Martin Van Wylich Neuert envision the composition as an urban escape towards a grounded, natural essence. Adventure and the comfort of a campfire coexist here.
Sandalwood, dry amber, and white musk later turn the fire into embers. The leather becomes smoother, the oud warmer, and wormwood remains a bitter trace above the woody base.
Holy Smoke is neither a smoke bomb nor a neat forest perfume. It is wormwood and saffron on leather next to oud, sandalwood, and extinguished embers — the scent of returning to the city with the fire still in your clothes.
