About Blotter Twelve
Blotter Twelve is frankincense and the alcohol it is cut with. It is not an accord; it is one material with a price on it, and we sell it because visitors to the bench kept asking what our base notes smelled like on their own.
The resin comes from Dhofar in Oman, hand-sorted into grades before distillation. On skin it opens bright and peppery — almost citrus — then settles into something warm, smoky and clean that stays the same all day.
Because there is nothing else in it, it layers well: a spray under Orris & Ash or The Long Afternoon makes either one last a few hours longer.
“I bought the discovery set expecting to like the floral one. Three days of blotters later it was Vyse Street, and I would never have picked it off a shelf.”
