Copal Azur

It reads as a single, unbroken accord: copal resin and frankincense form a resinous frame, and myrrh adds a touch of smoke. Cardamom brings spice, while patchouli and tonka bean settle it onto a woody, softer base. Salt and ozone cool the resinous weight and give it a fresh, aquatic air.

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Voters spread their picks across all four seasons, with autumn and spring slightly ahead, and lean towards evening, leisure and night-out wear. Most voters read it as masculine, though it stays unisex in character. Amouage Lineage and Gallivant Naples have a close profile.
