From your scent profile
Andrea Maack Magma is a smoky, spicy unisex fragrance that opens with Madagascar pepper, lemon and frankincense and deepens into saffron, rose and myrrh.
Skunky's take: That just-out-of-the-shower feeling, clean and fresh.

Holds up through the day and fades gently toward evening.
People close to you notice, nobody gets overwhelmed.
Sits nicely on a shelf.

EarthyWhat does Magma smell like?
The top pairs the sharp freshness of pepper and lemon with the resinous warmth of frankincense. In the heart, saffron, rose and myrrh build a spicy, oriental feel. The base of patchouli, suede and tonka bean leaves an earthy, leathery and woody ground, with a synthetic sheen running throughout.
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. It suits anyone who enjoys smoky, resinous scents, regardless of gender. Armani Privé Oud Royal and Amouage Purpose have a close profile.
