Carnelian of the Dervish (عقيق الفقير)

Saffron · Dragonblood · Frankincense · Myrrh · Oud · Vetiver

Saffron and dragonblood resin over frankincense, myrrh, oud and vetiver. Dry, resinous, ascetic. Nothing sweet, nothing decorative.

This is the one for the person who finds most attars too pleasant. It does not flatter you. It sits close to the skin and stays there, dry as old paper and twice as certain.

A humble stone, not a jewel of kings.
