What does Terror & Magnificence smell like?

It opens with saffron, birch tar and black pepper, spicy and smoky from the first spray. The heart brings tobacco absolute, papyrus, kyphi and Somalian frankincense, and the dry-down settles on Haitian vetiver, myrrh, labdanum absolute and benzoin over an earthy, leathery base.

Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening and night-out wear lead the occasions. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Voters read it as more masculine, though it works as a unisex scent. Montana Graphite and Costume National Secret Woods have a close profile.
