What does Sanctum Perfume smell like?

Frankincense comes first, with incense and myrrh in the heart. Sandalwood, benzoin and incense resin soften the base. The overall impression is spicy, woody and earthy, with sweetness staying in the background.

Most voters pick fall and winter, and night out and evening are the occasions it suits best. Longevity is rated strong and sillage moderate. It reads slightly more masculine than feminine, though many voters see it as feminine. Its profile is close to Profumum Roma Olibanum and Arte Profumi Samharam.
