What does Samharam smell like?

Benzoin, frankincense and myrrh make up the whole composition. It stays dark, oriental and resinous from start to finish; the spicy and smoky accords deepen the woody base without making it harsh, while benzoin softens that dark mood a little.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. Voters call it masculine slightly more often than feminine, though the feminine vote is far from small. Norma Kamali Incense and Kuumba Made Frankincense & Myrrh have a close profile.
