What does The White Hero – Potion of a Lifetime smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the small number of votes means these ratings should be read with caution. It suits anyone who likes a unisex fragrance.

It opens with clary sage, frankincense and mushrooms, then moves into candle wax, Peru balsam and vetiver. In the base, tree moss, oakmoss, green leaves and Indonesian patchouli take over, settling the scent onto a woody, creamy ground. Le Couvent Valparaiso and Ikiryō Damn Hippie have a close profile.
