What does Existence smell like?

It opens with rose and lily of the valley in a fresh, green floral accord. In the heart, Mystikal®, labdanum and frankincense add a resinous depth. The base of ambergris, white musk and benzoin settles into a creamy, sweet, powdery floor, with a clean synthetic edge in the background.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn close behind, and leisure and daily wear lead the occasions, while business and evening get a fair share too. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is made as a unisex scent. Dua Brand Moonlit Lily and Byredo Inflorescence have a close profile.
