What does Petals & Ashes smell like?

The flowers come first: jasmine, tuberose and rose form a creamy bouquet, brightened by neroli and yuzu. Beneath them, frankincense, myrrh and labdanum add resinous warmth, while oud and mitti attar pull the scent towards earthy smoke. Sandalwood and spikenard bring a soft, powdery woodiness, and the green and sweet accords stay in the background.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the small number of votes makes these ratings tentative. It sits comfortably on any skin, a quiet, shadowy scent. Vala's Enchanted Perfumery Heresy and Hendley Perfumes Rosenthal have a close profile.
