Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it neither dominates the skin nor fades quickly. With few ratings behind it this is only a rough guide, but it points to a measured scent that stays fairly close.
It opens with juniper and opoponax, giving a spicy, resinous coolness. Frankincense and musk soften the heart, and gaiac wood and vetiver leave a smoky, earthy woodiness at the base. Le Labo Vetiver 46 and Serge Lutens L'orpheline have a close profile.
