What does mb03 smell like?

Elemi resin, red pepper and Roman chamomile sit in the heart, while ambergris, patchouli, sandalwood and frankincense carry the base. Musk and styrax soften the depth, and the woody, oriental accords keep the spice in the background.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and leisure wear leading. More voters call it masculine than feminine, though a good share read it as feminine. Comme des Garçons Series 3: Incense - Avignon and Ojar Encens Cuivre have a close profile.
