What does Bois Sacré smell like?

Its longevity is rated good, while its sillage is moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin rather than filling a room. It is classed as unisex. The number of ratings is small, so these impressions are tentative.

The notes are sandalwood, labdanum and oud. Sandalwood and oud lay a woody base, and labdanum adds a warm, resinous depth. The sweetness is held in check by spicy and smoky tones, and the leathery and synthetic accords give it a dry, sharp edge.
