Mysterious blue lotus and warm labdanum gallop from the opening, sharpened by black pepper, as you and the dragon horse guardian search for the key to the castle in the sky. In the heart, frankincense drifts along the castle walls like a mysterious veil of smoke, followed by the warm, slightly woody spice of nutmeg. Coriander seed brings a penetrating freshness, while dry hay and luxurious saffron soften the sharper spices with warmth. Deeper into the journey, deep-red dragon’s blood appears with its dry, almost metallic character. Palo santo cools the fire with fresh wood and a lightly minty nuance, while elemi lifts the darker resins. Finally, leather and tobacco extinguish the last traces of smoke into a dry, spicy finish. Beneath a chair, the audience finds the key. The resin lingers, and the performance comes to an end.
