What does Olibanum Gardenia smell like?

The top notes of lime, coconut and neroli open bright and fresh. In the heart, cistus, frankincense and gardenia bring a floral, resinous character. The base of olibanum wood, sandalwood and cedarwood sets it on a woody, smoky foundation.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, spring and winter, and evening and leisure wear lead the occasions. Masculine and feminine votes are almost even, so it sits comfortably between the two. Gini Ikigai and Korloff Rouge Santal have a close profile.
