What does Crystal Incense smell like?

Grapefruit, ginger and Madagascar pepper open it bright and sharp, with a slightly fruity edge. In the heart, cardamom, frankincense and Atlas cedar turn that spice into a woody warmth. Siam benzoin, patchouli and musk soften the base and leave a dry, resinous finish.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters lean towards spring and fall without ruling out winter or summer, and they wear it for leisure, business and nights out. Most voters read it as masculine, though it stays unisex. Kerosene Wood Haven and Perfumer H Atlas have a close profile.
