What does Philokalia - Afterlife Potion smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though only a small number of voters rated it, so treat those figures with caution. With no season or occasion votes, all that can be said is that it is dense and full of character, and it suits anyone regardless of gender.

The top is floral, with jasmine and tuberose absolutes. The heart leans on nagarmotha, white oud, oud, Nepalese nard and labdanum, while the base brings candle wax, amber, frankincense and aged wood. Civet and castoreum add an animal edge, and dust and paint give it an unusual depth. The overall impression is sweet, spicy, smoky and earthy.
