What does Avicenna Myrrha Mystica smell like?

It opens with Murcott mandarin, bergamot, cinnamon, saffron and cardamom, a bright spiced start. The heart is led by Somalian myrrh with Turkish rose, Persian rose and Egyptian jasmine, while frankincense and elemi resin give the flowers a resinous depth. In the base, Indian sandalwood, labdanum, Bourbon vanilla and Siam benzoin sweeten and soften it, with woody and smoky tones staying in the background.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evenings, nights out and leisure are the most mentioned occasions. Feminine and masculine votes run close, so it reads comfortably either way. Annette Neuffer Avicenna and Avicenna White Rose & Oud have a close profile.
