What does Per Fumum: A Sanctified Rose smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with evenings, leisure and nights out the leading occasions. It doesn't lean clearly masculine or feminine; both get an equal share of votes.

It opens with Indian bay leaf, frankincense, elemi resin and black pepper, a spiced, resinous start. In the heart, Turkish rose and Persian rose are softened by labdanum and orris root. The base of Peru balsam, Bourbon vanilla, oud and Indian sandalwood leaves an earthy, sweet warmth. Annette Neuffer Per Fumum: Ambra Luminosa and Annette Neuffer Avicenna Myrrha Mystica have a close profile.
