Ashes wraps cool absinthe and clove in a polished cedar shell that feels like clean wood shavings still warm from the blade, then deepens into guaiac and patchouli for a dry smoky glow before easing into amber, incense, and soft musk. The effect is elegant and quietly magnetic, a modern woody incense that stays crisp rather than burnt, versatile for day and night.

Story and Positioning
Created as part of the Rock and Riot Black collection, Ashes channels the brand’s rock-inspired elegance into a clean cedar and incense profile that reads confident and refined. If you enjoy the serene woody style of cedar and incense-focused scents such as Heeley Cardinal or Comme des Garçons Kyoto, Ashes lands in that sophisticated space while keeping a fresher, greener edge from the wormwood opening. It sits alongside collection entries like Cocaine, Vinyl, and Rebel to showcase a modern wardrobe of characterful woods.
Bottle and Design
Presented in a weighty rectangular flacon finished in deep lacquer, the front carries a polished metal plaque with the name set cleanly, and a solid square cap tops the silhouette. The minimalist hardware and glossy surfaces give a strong shelf presence while keeping the look tailored and masculine.
