What does Book of Night smell like?

Its sillage is moderate, so it is noticed up close without filling a room. Nothing is known about its longevity, and the sillage rating rests on only a few votes. Being unisex, it sits comfortably on men and women alike.

As a whole it reads earthy and spicy. Oakmoss and patchouli lay a green, damp ground, while masala chai, clove and juniper berry add a warm, lightly sweet spice. Frankincense resin and pipe tobacco bring a resinous, gourmand depth, and artemisia keeps a touch of freshness in the background.
