What does Explorer smell like?

The notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base. Cardamom and Sichuan pepper bring a spicy warmth, while Argentinean grapefruit adds a light freshness over it. Labdanum and frankincense give a resinous, oriental depth, and Indonesian patchouli sets an earthy, woody ground. Ambrette softens the blend, and a smoky edge stays in the background behind the sweetness. Its profile is close to Lubin Akkad and Atelier des Ors Larmes du Désert.
