What does Pyroclasm smell like?

The top notes are rust, saffron, grapefruit and black pepper, so the grapefruit's brightness meets spice and a metallic edge. The heart holds frankincense, mineral notes and elemi resin. In the base, vetiver, sandalwood, cistus and cade juniper bring out the smoky, woody side as it dries, while green and synthetic tones stay in the background.

Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and it is chosen most for leisure. More voters find it masculine and modern, though some read it as feminine. Amouage Search and Rammstein Waidmanns Heil have a close profile.
